Learning From Nature
Under the sea I discovered colors I did not know existed on this earth.
Hues found only under the sea and in heaven, maybe, but maybe not.
The fish left me alone; but when they hid in the reef, I sheltered.
Being quintessential humanitarians, they taught me how to survive.
In the rain forest I spied the leopard, she was licking her babies.
I sent her God’s love, hoping she was too engrossed to bother me.
Her giant tongue stopped licking; I knew better than to run.
I learn more from nature than I learned in nineteen years of school.
