I say, I need
to hurry up, perform,
achieve and produce.
Nature says, I need
to slow down, exist
and just reproduce.
I say, I need
stimulation, excitement
and strife for perfection.
Nature says, I need
change, growth
and an ease with imperfection.
I say, I need
to plan, to be certain
and to control my ride!
Nature says, “Ha!,
What a hoot!
My ride is not certified.”
So we dance together,
Nature and I.
Pretending to be equals
as she occasionally lets me fly high!
