Nature Within the Self…

To worship Nature in all her beauty,

Is to become one with Nature, a Naturists duty,

To become one we must find Nature within the self,

We must become within that which is Nature’s stature…

We must feel her agonizing state of being,

We must know her for herself, not for what we see,

We must use our insight to ascertain her needs,

We must be there for her, night and day,

Her voice we need to be, her life we need to extend, can this you see?

She has been here for us, since the beginning of time,

And will do so if we assist her till the end as we climb,

Up the ladder to the heavens and beyond, into the universe we go,

Nature does exist there as well, this we must ultimately know…

Yes, she is not just a figment of imagination, nor just a part of this earth alone,

She exists within us and we within her, and has done so since time unknown,

We must, to make her feel welcome, allow her to sit on her personal throne,

To show her we are sorry, we must forever and always atone…
