Needing, Sowing And Reaping

The surface of the earth is soft and impressible by the feet of men; and so with the paths which the mind travels. - Thoreau

scatter me some seeds

grant their ground all that it needs

heed it when it pleads

Author's Note

“I love nature, I love the landscape, because it is so sincere. It never cheats me. It never jests. It is cheerfully, musically earnest.” - Thoreau

Such a beautiful piece, Pete. I too, love nature, and often speak of it in my poetry. How can you not be inspired by this?

i have the utmost respect and admiration of it. "All nature is doing her best each moment to make us well - she exists for no other end. Do not resist her. With the least inclination to be well we should not be sick." thanks for sharing kelly!
