Soft and subtle
Pure and pious
Magical, mysterious
Vivid and Vicarious
I am nature
Bold and Beautiful
Blooming and plentiful
Collectible and delectable
Credible and incredible
I am nature
Echoed and Mirrored
Blistered and withered
Walked on and flown by
Soared high and blown by
Known and unknown
I am nature
Owned and disowned
By my own
Thrown and left alone
By my own
Bits and pieces;
Left here and there
Reminder of what I was
Reminder of my share
Weeds next to the concrete
Water seeping under the roof
Floods on the mountain
Lives lost in a poof
I am claiming my share
I am taking what’s fair
I am nature
Art ruined by art
Mine ruined by yours
I am bleeding and crying
I am weeping and dying
You are soaring but falling
You are roaring but failing
You are my work
And I will claim my work
I am nature

Hannah's Nature's wonder Salar de Uyuni.
This prompt triggered something weird in me. The beauty and calm of
the Salt flat reminded me of the power of nature....Soft and Subtle yet
powerful!! It reminded me of the recent floods at Uttranchal India. We claimed pieces of nature and now nature is claiming what is rightfully hers!!
