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?

[Jane Taylor Hardy]

I absolutely loved the last line to this gentle soft poetry written with a wise pen.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Jane. Better to walk alone than the wrong path.

Thank you Indra. Men who follow the steps of the herd. Easily forgotten.

I am particularly taken with the second stanza John. I find myself very much in tune with those philosophies. Excellent work.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Ken. I love the forest and the sea. Last place to know true quiet and peace.

I love this! It reflects how so many of us feel about falling into the trap that social norms set for us. but it does so in a serene, non threatening manner. None of us shall feel defeated as long as we are fearless.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Ian. We must be fearless in our hope and dreams. Easy took from us with lies and naysayers.

There is a little explorer and adventurer in all of us, as we like to believe we have been the first to discover, find, or view something ... It makes us feel special for a moment, and somehow helps us to appreciate the wonders of the world a bit more, if only for a brief time ... Well said ...

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. We all need a adventure. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[Lydia Shutter]

The last line says it all. We need to follow our dreams...to own them. We need to do what makes us feel "right" inside. Lovely imagery in this nature poem, John. Lydi**

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. If we give-up our dreams and hope. What is left? Thank you Lydia for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.
