Whispers and Words From Nature.

Have you taken time to observe the beauty of nature and everything that goes on around it? Surprisingly, most people don't understand that nature speaks to us but we have allowed the cares and worries of this world to take our attention away from it. We have all been guilty of allowing this but we can do better. My day took a pleasant turn one evening and I heard the words loud and clear with some whispers too. I want to be lost in that world where I get to relate to nature and other creatures.

I am the only child and it has never been fun for me to stay at home when I have these two adults in diapers arguing; my parents. Have you ever been in a house you wish you can run away from and never look back? That's the kind of house I lived in and I wanted to run as far as my legs could carry me. I sneak out once in a while so it wouldn't be obvious that I left the house.

They argue and complain about anything and everything. I was so frail and tiny but I've never tried to meddle in their affairs before a backhand slap would throw me off the earth. I've never been a fan of constant bickerings, they annoy me and I just want to stay on my own, enjoy my peace and have fun the best way that I can. I got to the point where I just want to run away and never look back. I don't care what the consequences are, I just want to experience a different life than I have been used to, at least for a change so I can know the other side of things.

Their arguments always happen when they both come back from work. If you are both unhappy why not just call the whole thing off? How and where they got their energy or strength from baffles me because they spend the better part of the day working and how they got the strength to still argue over issues that can be overlooked is what surprised me. You have worked your brains all day and yet you are working your body in the evening. Isn't that a recipe for a death sentence?

I had my mind made up one evening and I decided to leave the moment they both got home. I knew another argument would start because it was brewing already in the morning. I didn't care if they look for me or didn't. I didn't care if they would raise hell when they eventually find me or not but I was desperate for peace and I felt nature would be the one to heal me.

I can't remember for how long I walked but I kept walking until I saw a banner that says "Open Your Heart To Hear." I'd never seen it before and I wondered I must have walked late into the night with so many thoughts occupying my mind. I looked back, I looked ahead and I knew I didn't want to go back nor will I allow the fear of uncertainty to take me to the past I was trying too hard to leave behind.

As I was walking past the thick bushes, I heard them whisper to each other "Oh, this is a fine one." I had to look around to see if I had company but I was all alone. My legs froze and I kept hearing indistinct sounds from afar and near. They said that curiosity killed the cat and at this point, I have to say that the cat died nobly. I touched the grass and I heard the sound of a giggle while the others chorused "That always tickles us." I was in awe and I heard them so clear this time around.

I've always been fascinated by how the birds perch on the flowers to suck out the nectar and I was blessed to see one up close as I was walking through this magic land. Have you ever used a feather to clean your ears? Do you know that unexplainable and indescribable feeling of sweetness that you get? That's what the flower was feeling with the way the bird was perching. I heard the bird telling the flower "You sweet thing!" I never knew nature can play romance too.

My experience in the magic land looked so unreal and I had to wonder if I wasn't hit by a car in my long walk to get here and maybe all I am experiencing is just a dream.

Up ahead, I almost ran from the snake before I heard that ting voice tell me not to be scared because she only bruise the heels of those who pose a threat to her. She told me her venom is her defence mechanism just as those who hold a gun or a knife shouldn't use it except in extreme danger. I moved up ahead to see the chicken feasting without fear. I was hoping they would run away as I tried to touch the biggest one but there was no fear at all. She told me that here, they have complete control unlike when they were in the land of humans. They all told me how unhappy they are with us; humans because we are only showing consideration for them for our belly. We have no genuine love for them and I can see how true that is.

I was expecting a better review from the dogs as I moved ahead to touch the head of one. He told me that everyone knows they are our best friends but we have never shown them the same loyalty they have shown us over the years. They only want love and attention but we only care about them when we are bored and have nothing else to do while they live for us.

It was late and I was only able to speak to the moon at that time. The moon looks interesting but still looks lovelorn at the same time. I asked the moon what the issue was and how someone this radiant can still give a gloomy look. He told me of his love issue with the Sun and he is not happy that he had to wait for a particular period before seeing the love of his life. The moon told me that they only see once in 18 months and when they get lucky, they can meet somewhere 5 times a year in different countries.

I finally made the moon smile by narrating my issue back home. I told him it was probably for the best that they don't see often so they can spend that little quality time together making love rather than arguing. He told me he would not be seeing the Sun anytime soon but I should stick around till the next day so I can deliver his love message to the Sun and then get a response back too. I was thrilled to be the love in this matter.

Thank you for your time.

My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks. I am love's chemical content in human form and that's why I advise people to take a dose of "Olawalium" daily. 🙈
