For She is the Drug of Choice

For She is the Drug of Choice

Laying exposed for all to see

Men, women, even children 

Admiring and craving 

to be with her.

The early morning sun accentuates her beauty,

radiating lustful thoughts. 

Men want to climb her,

women want to befriend her, 

children wish to be held by her. 

Her presence,

a lasting ecstasy, a mind-altering drug,

bringing all people to their knees.

Unconquerable, steadfast to all, yet 

unable to take advantage of her. No spirits 

will waver her mind. Her vastness and beauty 

incomprehensible.

For she is Mother Nature.

About the Poem:

This nature poem is a thank you to mother nature. As a little boy, I would run around the “woods” of my backyard naked letting my imagination run free. In many ways, my work allows me to continue this adventure through my imagination (not so much the naked part), and explore the natural beauty of our planet. I am unsure why, but any chance I get to see this planet, I take it. From mountains to the ocean, I crave the beauty of our planet and attempt to share it with you all.

My dreams as a kid have stayed with me; see the world, play a sport in college, and be a writer. Well, I am happy to say all three of those goals are getting checked. The best part, see the world and be a writer are journey’s that will never end.

In college, I was captivated by poetry and wrote every night. Most of my writings ended in the trash, but several have not seen the light of day. For I am scared to share my writing as it is the closest thing to my heart. My brain used to tell me, don’t you dare share this, you wont be accepted. However, I am coming to a point in my life to accept my writing as a safe space for me to express my experience on this planet.

So, here is the first for me, a combination of a poem and visuals. All of which documents mother earth.

I hope to share more.
