It Is Nature It is riding on the back of a motor cycle with a man that I have been deeply in love with since the day I met him. Riding down the strip at Myrtle Beach with nothing but a bathing suit on, my long hair flowing behind me, makes me think of new beginnings. It is sitting on the back porch of my first home, the one that I lived in by myself, gathering inspiration for a poem or just admiring all that God has created. It is walking along the scenic paths that surround my college campus and trying to figure out who I am while watching other students do the same. It‘s feeling these times slipping away as I watch the sun set beyond my dorm room yet again. It is picking flowers; it is being a snow angel; it is carving pumpkins and letting go from a rope into a muddy lake. It‘s the rain pouring down while I enjoy it covering my body. It is feeling the spring, the summer, the fall, and the winter on my skin, smelling it in my hair. It is the things that make me feel, think, and love. It is my life, and it is nature.
