In the midst of nature

I shall tread the sodden ground of the moor

Deliberately leaving traces in the mud

That will lead the way to someplace pure

It will change our skin, eradicate our blood

 

The falling leaves shall become a veil

Alike the haze concealing morning dew

They will mask the bruises of which we cannot heal

A hurt, a pain we crave to undue

 

Secrets are buried for a moment to survive

For truth wants to be freed, a lie cease to exist

You detain someone's breath to keep it alive

It harms, it is mean, it is a dreadful disease

 

But in the midst of nature, of colors clear

All that was broken appears possible to mend

And when the rain emerges as a tear

You are not alone, you have a friend

This is my favorite piece of yours. It captures the cleansing ability of nature. When we literally forget all else that ties us down, nature is there to remind us of who we truly are - our basics. Allowing the rain to clean your tears is extremely therapeutic. You captured this needed moment beautifully. Well done!

I enjoy the taste of pain in this one...descriptive...addictive.
Grabbing the random...weaving a thought....

An interesting poem I read in this shining day. There's a nice comparison I got see between the nature, life and the lives... Yes! The life's exactly what where the lives, things, nature, rain, leaves, seasons and so on every-thing comes forward to make a life more delightful and beautiful with the kind beauty of "Misty Nature" .. People love enjoying the time of rainy or cold seasons to make the heart warm with the beauty of angels to praise the scented scent of theirs that's melted into the air .. into the winds and that's making the souls pure and refresh into the world to live beautifully and peacefully without hurt and pain at all ..

... this poem's damn nice and a beautiful one as well .. thanks for penning the poem, you made me refresh ... All phrase're nicely done and showing, expressing the magnificent view of the life by your words.

Wonderful write!

The pleasure's always mine my dear pretty, Michelle .. I always love seeing someone as beautiful as you feel "smiley widely." Keep smiling my dear friend and keep spreading the scent of your beautiful kind beauty around the world to make it more beautiful as same as you.

A amazing poem. I like the way you used nature to make your point in the poem. Nature can educate us if we pay attention. I like the flow of thoughts leading to a very good ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

What a lovely song to glorify the nature.
Love your soothing piece.
This stanza appears like the heart of this golden piece.
"But in the midst of nature, of colors clear
All that was broken appears possible to mend
And when the rain emerges as a tear
You are not alone, you have a friend"
