Nature Talks

I walked through the forest
And asked a great tree
“How are you so great?
“Can you teach that to me.”

But the tree did not answer,
The great stupid jerk.
I packed up my stuff
And I drove off to work.

A week and some later
I walked on the beach
And I asked the great waves
If they had stuff to teach.

The waves answered “shh”
As they crashed on the shore,
And I left, disappointed,
To the city once more.

Then finally I strolled
O’er a mountainous peak
Hoping to hear
The big pointy rock speak.

And I finally listened
To its silent reply,
And at once understood,
And I high-fived the sky.
