THE NATURE OF EQUALITY
~Deana J. Tavares
Nature bends and bows
Shimmers and glistens
Upon furrowed
Or flattened brow
Did the sun rise
Aiming its rays
To caress
Only your face
The oceans swelling
Roaring
Grace
Do worms tunnel below
Giving nutrients
To thousands
Of fiberous arms
And roots
Only to bless
Selected hands
With the sweetened
Tender fruits
Did the mockingbird
Perfect its trilling trills
Caw…caw…caws
Those tweets
They impersonate
Only for specific ears
To resonate
Do the flowers
Scent the air
Blossoming accordingly
For particular eyes to see
Or are they breezily
Blowing
Happily free
Did the clouds part
Allowing the suns warmth
Solely
To grace your skin
I’m certain
The buttercups grew
To also dance
Their delicate light
Across my
Chin
