I praise the nature that grows under my feet,
the nature flowing straight to the sky.
But nature took away something
I cannot forgive.
The bible says
that if you sin
you'll see the wrath of God.
What a mighty sin nature conceived.
It's as if
under the absence of our bows
Nature laughed and forced us down
forced the trees to fall
crack
shatter,
to worship on our knees.
Don't fear the snake, the bird, the bear
fear the falling tree.
What I would have given
to be able to sit in the forest and watch it fall
shed a tear for every fallen branch
a whimper for every leaf
and an anguished cry for every tree.
I would have sat for hours
mourning the destruction.
And I still do.
