Listen 

When the lightning smiles,
let fear not boil your blood 
for my voice will be deep into the thunder scream,

give ears when the cloud gets shadowy 
and the rain is dancing on your roof,

listen to the wind when the trees dance 

look beyond the wave of the oceans 
as it chases itself off the shore,
for my eyes will be smiling in each tide
 
when the sun oozes down the ocean,
as hummingbirds sing lullaby,
as the wind stands still,

listen to those lyrics 
from the sounds of crickets  beneath your window
for  I'll be flying on the wings of butterfly 

listen to nature 
for I am in every sound you hear. 
to paint your heart with kisses,
Listen.

My mother is nature 

           
The fountain of God's love 

Her thighs are the roots of cotton tree 
And the ground on which my feet first tasted 

Her hands are the gravity that held me 
when I thought I could fly without wings 
Her fingers still taste like raindrops on my heated body 

The circulated winds from her nostrils 
breathe life 

in her smiles-- I see twinkling stars 
beautiful flowers from the top of Everest 

in her veins-- I see oceans upon oceans 
oceans that tide with the peaceful hands of wave
Her face holds the brightness of the sun 
as it escorts itself every morning
 
In her eyes-- I see winging butterflies being chased by Blue Jay 
and tiger happily racing with antelope 
As the branches of her eyelashes stand tall above
 
Her chest holds waterfall canals 
That flow down from mountains built in heaven 

In the heart of nature--I see jewelries 
Gold, diamonds that smile with love

She is as green as Amazon forest 
The sky shows her eyes
And her body is Sahara 
Nature lives in her
