Nature is Queer

Emily VanDerEeems

Hear the loon cry, 

Mourning doves sing

 

Trees sway with the breeze

Sun shines through the leaves

 

Mother nature is yearning, 

she cries

she pines

She longs for a time when we noticed the signs

 

Of hate and regret

Judgement and folly

Where people see love 

Label it awfully

 

How can we get back to accepting pure love

Where people are people

And souls bind like buds

 

Cascading rivers from peaks 

to small streams

How can you not expect me to love all things?
