Think of me as

snow shushes to earth

and blankets the ground

with white silence.

Think of me when the

river laps at its banks

after rain hurries to earth.

Think of me when the heavens

turn fiery as sun creeps

over winter’s horizon.

Think of me when water rushes over

the dam – spring rains bringing more

water than earth can devour.

Think of me when spring

awakens earth once again

filling her with fresh greens,

pinks, purples, and yellows –

after long dark monochromatic winter.

Think of me when leaves change

colors in fall and fill

our world with fascination.

Think of me when the moon is

round and full –

gleaming in night sky.

Think of me and remember

my love of life, nature,

and my willingness

to find beauty in the unexpected.

Think of me any time

Mother Nature provides

essential magic that

makes my heart and soul take flight.

Remember what makes us whole –

Being one with Mother Earth and

loving her unconditionally.
