Ode to nature

Mother she cares of the nature she bare

ocean so bright From the glint of her light

Trees so green From these we lean The source of life

Yet we cut them with a knife Everything living Can be so giving

So she saves what she can But some we overran

Nature should be free But seems like we give a decree

Fun n’ games Jumping off walls

Or playing with dolls The swing you can sore So we wouldn't bore Not easy to appease

Some parents do it with ease The tree with our castles

Kings and queens that are hassles Running, cartwheels, and hopping

Kickball rough housing non-stopping Water balloons galore Never doing a chore Scraped and hurt

Always loving the dirt In the end we would go to sleep Asking for water then not a peep

next thing you know your getting old But those memories you'll always hold

At heart you'll always be Young and as always free

Falling free

Falling falling I am hauling

Floating to the bottom Sinking to the top

Falling without your decree It may be free

Or make me want tea The last wave crashing

No one lashing Octopi dancing

Reindeer prancing So free

wouldn't it be Elephants cart wheeling Mothers smart mealing

Turtle so cunning Sloths running

So free couldn't it be

See me My body is a shell

to those who don't know me

On the outside they see The little things I let free

and sometimes that’s not even me I am so shy so shield what's inside

Through silence I try So no one can see

who I can really be My pencils the only thing that

gets the most out of me Through my drawings you see

a sliver set free By the real part you want of me

The longer you spend knocking on my shell

You start to see the things I do let free

No light

you think you're so bright

But you don't see the light

Of all of the might

So dim is your sight

That you cant see the light

You say you have height

But you're not contrite

So naïve is your dim sight

That you cant see true light

Beauty of things

Drawing through me Is everything I see These I am free

Its what I like to be To get lost in the will

Cards to not deal The mind is so loud

Like dancing on a cloud A vibrant escape

As fun as duct tape You see drawings

I see drawer wings Its what's in me

Things you can’t see
