Nature's Thoughts Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

Love of the sound of music
Lyrical flow o' meanin' in song

I love taking a walk in the wild
That very virgin meshed smell of dung n' urine

I love the sound of birds singing
The chilling cry of a fish eagle

I love the strong meaning of survival
The weak hardly see the rising of the sun

I'm fascinated by the colour of the full moon
Directly, you can look at it without being blinded by its dull glare

I love the sound of dead leaves under my bare feet
The very quiet n' serenity of the October noon

I love the sparkle n' serene beauty of the river
The sound of the fords under the hot open skies

I love imagining peace as depicted in nature
Maybe we could learn how to survive fairly without greed
