Nature and I – Part 1

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!
