Nature understands me
She does not question where you're from
or what you do;
there is no "Are you ready for me now?"
or "Shall I check on you later?"
Her mood varies
and Her temper can be violent
but it is all self-contained.
Humans, like the trees and animals,
are only viewers in Her
one-woman show.
Just as I don't want to be judged
She understands
and merely gives some
then takes it away.
