The Nature of Spirit

by Maria Lisa Polegatto

Watching the world today
I noticed nature's variability
Each petal of each flower is unique
As are the trees and bees
The animal kingdom
From tiny to beast
Variations within species
Characteristics abound
Yet the trees and the bees
Don't fight with each other
Nature yearns to live together
Alas we are part of nature
And need to reevaluate
Our contributions
The way we see others
The way we treat others
We are but mere humans
Needing to evolve
The way the rest of
Nature has quietly learned
God is in each of us
Let us see Him in each other
Look beyond the physical
Into the divinity of spirit
He has spark within us
Let him save us
As He gave His son for us
Let us have His compassion
For each other
And all of His creation
In Him, through Him, with Him
We are nature, nature is us
Let us be called to His table
Make the choice to deserve
As He has served us
With eternal life.
