The environment is very important and a beautiful gift from God…we must take better care of it.

White and gray waters purge the sand 

Waves pounding with determination

Taking a stand

White doves weep, relentless tears

For the uncaring ways

Their hope, transforms to fear 

Winds bellow disappointment

Praying fervently

A day of transition

The ship sails unsteadily

Looking for the morrow

A better land to see.

    People should take this seriously and be torn over the subject.

    Gorgeous dove. Your words make me wring my hands about our lack of care of our world.

    Humans have become so estranged from nature that it is seen mostly as an enemy to be defeated. There is even a name for what children suffer now. It is called \”nature defiecit disorder\”. I saw a little boy at the Zoo who looked very fearful as he viewed some monkeys. When one of the monkeys made some slightly erratic movement the little boy picked up some pebbles and began throwing them at the monkey. His mother was embarrassed and pulled him away.

    People shoud be aware. But i guess it’s not in our nature. we have’t evolved that way.

    No one, not change the sun’s caress, massage rain and wind.
    excellent pines and the murmur of the sea, music.

    As far as we have time to get to know it,
    thousands of beautiful fusion of sensations of nature.

    no time to wait!
