nature

Trees dancing in the breeze,

spreading bark and leaves,

I sit and watch nature’s beauty

It’s God’s gift to you and to me.

We live in a world full of beautiful places.

Why do we take it for granted?

Why do we insist on destruction?

 Are we just telling God we don’t love Him?

It starts with accepting the gifts. Nice write!

We do take too much for granted and destroy the wonderful world we live in. Great message :) Good work

[Ayanda Mteto]

deep and heart felt; we drestoy this world that offers us food and shelter. proking thoughts is a poem should be, well done.

[Sahar moonlight]

That was a good point.
And a good question as well

[Leigh]

very thought provoking and true

[Emerald Seas]

A very pointed view of man's blatant destruction of the beauty around us that was given by God. How will we be judged?

[Rasputin]

I think destruction comes more naturally to mankind than creation. It's much easier to destroy what already exists than to bring something new into existence. That's not to say that I condone that kind of behavior; I merely recognize it.

I so appreciate this. I love nature. ^^

[Vivere ad mihi, mi Deus]

Powerful last line, thought provoking.

[Archia]

That is such a great last line; it's so thoughtful and sums up the poem. But really, it is something I'll think about for a while. I enjoyed the first two lines, the rhyme was nice and picked up the flow for the rest. A really good poem.
