Sky Country: A Nature Poem

Thursday, December 28, 2017

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

Albert Einstein

Sky Country. Anywhere that isn't a city, where you can see a blue sky, mountains and woods. Write what you want about this.

Sky Country

Away from city lights,
my spirit soars,
and ascends on the wings of faith
into the azure sky.

Alone,
warmed by sunlight
filtering through
the boughs of forest giants,
I meditate
upon the comforting
sounds of nature.

Mother Nature sing
her sacred hymns
to those who walking
up stony mountain paths
or through
emerald forested valleys.
