The Nature [live]

The Nature It was a warm and sunny day – and the wind was playing chess Was a really, really good time - for riding slowly in the wilderness And a very fine way - for starting out a new day For exercising bones - and enjoying scones To it’s full extension – hardly any new invention Watching all the birds fly low - and countless stupid sheep Cattails blowing gently in the wind - ducks in formation flying high and steep Peeping over the embankment - all along the coastal line Hear the gravel crunching underneath - my ever turning, spinning wheels With no persisting fear – at least that I could hear Out there in the Nature is the place to be If you’re searching for a reason to be free The Nature is fine and fair If you’ve lost your way, you may find it there God’s Nature is the place where you should stay If you’re looking for a maze where you can play It’s a long and weary road - too rough for lonely boys Endless rows of cattle grids – along the path selected entirely by your own device Narrow in its own way - but wide in any other way Left to nature all by course - near the river of great force It’s not the end of anybody’s exclamation – and common fearful dreadful desolation Shallow waters in between – the land, the sea the moon Cattle grass in pastures green - all day long into the afternoon Not wondering when and why- some ignorant untie The basis of their lives – as if they really care For they think not of tomorrow – that they should all be dammed and sorrow Out there in the Nature is the place to be If you’re searching for a reason to be free The Nature is fine and fair If you’ve lost your way, you may find it there God’s Nature is the place where you should stay If you’re looking for a maze where you can play Copyright: Benny Bukhave, June 2020, Koda Work No 51393496, ISWC: T-301.483.198-8 59 Strange things happen all around – Cathedral on the move Bishop thought he may be gay – gone through the gate to hell but hard to prove Drinking out of old cups - the most delightful crops Down by the brook - you might see the crook (hook) Tiny waterfalls for fish to chill – the water wheel is turning, still Go see a place of interest – and all the things beyond Take a nap down in the park - beside the old and quiet village pond Ancient town and history gone - and yet ghosts walk Must pass the test of visibility - Slush to heaven opens up Regaining the old and much missed vigour of youth Out there in the Nature is the place to be If you’re searching for the reason to be free The Nature is fine and fair If you’ve lost your way, you may find it there God’s Nature is the place where you should stay If you’re looking for a maze where you can play Then suddenly you’ve reached the end – of a long and busy day Has been a pleasure of delight – hope for resurrection is surely on the way By contrast of the things – we praise and dance around The gathered loots well in boot – worthless by ways and means And serves no purpose but for greed – not even for survival of the fittest Before at last the time has come – to make a change of course Turn around the iron horse - the wind in tail just like a helping force Providing necessary power – that’s needed for the final heave As far as one can tell – it’s just like a falling leave And soon we all shall aim - for the awaiting nest to claim. Out there in the Nature is the place to be If you’re searching for a reason to be free The Nature is fine and fair If you’ve lost your way, you may find it there God’s Nature is the place where you should stay If you’re looking for a maze where you can play
