Man and Nature
Man and Nature
I will walk through the woods
and not build a thing
to the lagoon
where the kingfisher dives
And the ivy can cling
to the wall of my home
and the weeds
can brighten my driveway.
Like two beasts in a cave
we will lie down together
or they'll find us
with death in our eye.
No more to squabble
with sibling nature
for her roots will grow
'round my bones.
So she can build
her nest in my chimney
and I will sing
to the sound of her sea.
