Return to Nature. People are willing to get out more To be outdoors, Or to let Nature be part of one’s life, To allow for Nature to enrich the vocabulary of home sphere. Simply let Nature in and ride on its poise. Rich and diverse elements, That display how detachment can exist alongside dense complexity, Much like the multiple facets of flowers That will ultimately render themselves To final selections after much deliberation.
