INSPIRING NATURE POETRY

I was looking for inspirations within poetry about nature. To fully perceive an authors understanding of his subject, be that "nature" or other, every reader will try to reach the same understanding, but will fail. Perception is subjective. But the influence of our perceptiveness is infinite. We constantly create and recreate from what we see, so the influence of nature is endless.

What Would I Be

What would I be, if I could be?

Anything at all, my soul free,

A tree or a stream, perhaps light,

From a star above cast at night.

Or my soul might fly across time,

And stay in the skies blue and sublime,

There above all, safe to explore,

All of my minds shore.

A shoreline eternal and an ocean blue,

In skies of endless hope soaring true,

And I will live forever in my mind’s eye,

Flying as a soul in an endless sky.

Nature is so Beautiful Here

© Jamie Vann

Flowers with petals so soft

Their smell in the air so heavenly sweet

Water floats off the leaves like joyful tears

And the sun shines down giving only a radiant heat

Nature is so beautiful here.

The wind whispers secrets the trees

And wisps through the soft, dewy grass

Creating only a light gentle breeze

And leaving a silent calmness ever so clear

Nature is so beautiful here.

An eagle soars over the majestic mountains

Like a king, like a spirit of freedom

How he must love to fly

Nature is so beautiful here.

Beautiful melodic music ascends into the air

And almost seems to touch the heavens

It is a sweet song that small birds wish to share

While they look onto the world from solitary branches

Nature is so beautiful here.

There is a safety to this peaceful world

A place for mothers to cradle young by their side

Everything is always as it should appear

And no creature has to hide

Nature is so beautiful here.

The day is forever sunny in the clouds above

As the eternal day sweeps across the land

This world is one to love

With so much peace, so much wonder, so much mystery

How can nature be so beautiful here?

A place like this

© Milo Shumpert'appel

I need an island in the sea,

Away from you away from me,

Beyond the waves beyond the wind,

Beyond the world that we live in,

Under skies of shining stars,

Away from lights and noisy cars,

Above the egos and the stress,

Beyond the world we made a mess.

A place for me a place for you,

An earth that's green a sky that's blue,

A place for you a place for me,

An open sky and light blue sea,

With dreams as solid as the ground,

A place like this I think I've found.

A happy thought no one can take it,

A place like this is where we make it.

I need a mountain in the sky,

Just beneath where angels fly,

Where snowflakes falling on the ground,

Is the most disruptive sound,

Above the waves above the wind,

Above the world that we live in,

Above my life above the stress,

Where I can lay it all to rest,

Under skies of falling snow,

Just above the world below,

Just above the trees and birds,

A place I can't describe in words.

An empty place that's so appealing,

How'd I get this stupid feeling?

Bad ideas come and go,

But none as potent as the snow,

I need no island in the sea,

Just the things that make me me.

I need no mountain in the sky,

Just to laugh try not to cry,

Forget these far off fantasies,

And manifest as realities,

Reach out and grab it in good time,

Seize the moment make it mine,

Catch the moment make it last.

Just be grateful when it's past.

Sensations as real as the wind,

Try not to be sad when it ends.

A happy thought no one can take it,

A time like this is when we make it.

I need an island in the sea,

And all of that which makes me me.
