Resilience in Nature

Appreciating Nature

By Sarah ElizabethPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

As the brightness of the morning wakes me up from my tent

you can see the sun overlooking the valley as it rises

The rooster crowing the arising morning as its way of keeping times

The early mist on the grass as its draws dew,

As I make my walk across the forest

Overhead, I can see the pines and leaves blowing like a wind in its own shadow

Spending the entire day hiking as day becomes night into the distances of the sunset

Next day as I go walking to my right, I see the countryside

The smell of the field of grass between houses and farms

The freshness of the hay that the farmers worked on all day so that horses and cattle would have food

The sheepdog watching over the sheep

The working horses helping with the tending of crop fields

The pigs in the stalls fattening up and would become soon a piece of bacon and pork

Not only that put in most barns you will see barn quilts

Seeing of this nature makes me appreciate the cycle of nature; living and the dead

After the day ends, I lean back in my chair on the deck porch

And as the evening darkens and comes on,

You can see the sky filled with stars, constellations, and planets

I have realized that all the time that I have just wasted taught me something

Taught me something to appreciate the beauty of life!
