Under the trees providing
Shelter, food, and protection
lie generations past
providing soil and nutrients
for generations to come

What was once weeds and barbarism
has become untamed civility
like a rappers loquaciousness,
like a buffalo grazing,
like an eagles nest
it perches in the shadow.

For the young and old alike,
Nature awaits exploration
Some to ponder from an easychair
or classroom
and others as they splash
through a blundering creek

Echoes of the first sunrise
still provide soil and nutrients
like a buffalo grazing,
Nature awaits exploration.
