Whispering with Nature

am not afraid of telling about this love
found in me and Mother Nature
exchanged in the chirp of a bird
coo of the dove

it’s this love I have with the gazelles
that I see in their sprint
graceful and breath-taking

it’s this love with the whisper of the leaves
that I hear in their rustle and
their breeze

sometimes when I feel like to whisper
I go to the woods
to talk to a daffodil
then kiss her petals

it’s about this love I talk about
pristine
undemanding
