Drawn Valentine

Often I want to turn away from nature
Leave its privacy alone
Let it have its own life
 
But it draws me in
Welcome and unwelcome guest
To find some quiet place
 
On the periphery of leaves
Those thriving factories
Of air and light
 
Churning and toiling
Faithful to their original
Will to grow
 
Or where there are no leaves
Just drifts of wind and sand
And the moon is all I know
