Some nature poetry

Just words

                           Nature Poetry

The mountain range,
standing strong and beautiful.
Art for the people who love the open and free spaces.
The free climbers love the hard climbs and unknown endings.
Finding secret and unknown paths leading to private and secret locations.
The mountain and the free-climber become one in the quiet of the silent of wind and nature's beauty.


------


The unmarked path,
a path rarely taken.
Fearless travelers enjoy the walk into the unknown and the beauty of the forest.
Best journey will end, finding unknown rivers and the wildflowers field hidden.
Better to walk alone than with the herd.
Need to own your dreams and not follow the path of the tamed and the defeated.

I like the first one and I like ur second one too "Need to own your dreams...............and the defeated! yup, u need to make ur own way and its u how u make ur life. so make it as exciting and adventurous as u can , kids are very good judges and voice their feelings without reservations. So when ur in need of some quiet time spend it with ur grand kids just let them do the talking....lol ull feel so relaxed cant express in words, they give u food for though and good material to write in return , try it out it will do u good!

Love june

Thank you June. When we forget our hopes and dreams. What do we become?

Nature is God's art for all of us to enjoy. Natural things are often the most beautiful. Kathie

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree Kathie. So many beautiful things to see. Especially in Michigan.

I love both of these poems, the mountain range reminds me of a holiday in Switzerland. The line "Finding secret and unknown paths leading to private and secret locations" is especially appealing. And in the second poem, "finding unknown rivers and the wildflowers field hidden. Better to walk alone than with the herd." really speaks to my soul. Thank you for sharing these!

Thank you for reading. I try to follow the rules. We must work but we must find things to excite our mind and heart.

this piece rekindled memories of a time in my travels I had to do just that cross through the mountains, which for me was a first, this comes as close as i go in words what I could describe, adventure to an unknown beauty. thank you for sharing

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you for reading and the comment. I loved the mountains. When I was young. I free-climbed the west coast of the USA and Central American. No better place to be.

To not follow the herd in this day and age, especially of technology, is actually harder then it sounds. To be "normal" is what many people want so they fit in but I challenge what normal is.

I am someone who has taken my own path but every path has its dead ends. Fall, get up, fall, get up. Yes, following the road less traveled is not paved in gold.

Excellent piece. Thanks for the read.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Pandora. I agree. Hard to walk own path and keep your dreams and hope alive.

[....................]

great pieces, John, but the second one speaks to me more: we need to walk our own paths, following our own dreams and not those of others...well done, my friend

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you my friend. If we follow the cattle and sheep. Sometime not a safe ending.

that is so true!

It is certainly easier to tread softly when walking alone. Lovely write.

[Coyote Poetry]

Sometime we need time to walk alone to gather our thoughts. Thank you for reading and the comment.
