My Envy of Creation

Nature and Creation

I look to the sky with envy

as I watch the moon

and the stars.

For the laws of physics of nature predict the rotation of their life.

I see the beauty in the flower

that dies in the winter. In the four seasons of it's life.

I see a great blessing of the madness of the salmon that struggles up stream

for they live life with one purpose.

I see the inspiration of the caterpillar

as it struggles for I see it is blessed to know

The buterfly in life it will come to be

I look with all my heart

for beauty and purpose

in my own life.

I look to God and ask why curse me

with this mind that dose not let me see?

Why am I not blessed with the abilities of all of these?

Then all of a sudden he speaks to my heart

from a whisper within my soul.

That tells me what I long to know.

That my life was made from

the same beauty as the moon and the stars.

I see my life and the four seasons

as the flower grows.

That the madness of the salmon is the same as my own.

That all of life is just one.

That in nature we are all the same.

From where we go from where we came.
