Mr. Altig’s Overview of the Wonderful Dharma of the Lotus Sutra

In the realm of Animals, nature inspires,
I capture its beauty, my poetic fires.
With words, I paint the wind’s gentle caress,
The dance of leaves, a symphony no less.

Each verse a tribute to the wonders I’ve seen,
Reflecting nature’s grandeur, its vibrant sheen.
I listen to streams, their secrets they share,
Weaving their melodies with tender care.

Honoring creatures, their stories unfold,
From graceful deer to eagles, both bold.
Nature’s elements infuse my creative path,
Teaching lessons that will forever last.

Immerse in nature’s embrace, let it ignite,
Infuse your art with its magic, take flight.
For nature inspires, its beauty resounds,
In poetry, a symphony that knows no bounds.

As we further delve into nature’s intricate tapestry,
I recall a fox, its eyes gleaming, looking right at me.
In the stillness of dawn, with morning dew on its paws,
Its fiery gaze ignited in me a fervent applause.

A shimmering lake, with water so profound and deep,
Where swans glide with grace, and secrets it keeps.
Underneath its surface, a world alive and intense,
Fish swimming, leaves floating, nature’s dance immense.

The whispering trees with stories old and new,
Their leaves rustling, in hues of gold and blue.
With the wind’s rhythm, they perform a ballet so rare,
Nature’s orchestra playing, an alluring affair.

The moon’s silver glow, a lantern in the night,
Guides nocturnal creatures, with its gentle light.
Bats take flight, owls hoot in the deep twilight,
Nature’s nocturne unfolds, a spectacular sight.

Concluding this ode, to nature’s vast design,
Its power to inspire, is truly divine.
In every creature, tree, river, or stone,
Nature’s beauty in poetry, forever etched and shown.

In the mosaic of nature, every piece finds its place,
From the silent mountains to the river’s gentle grace.
Each creature, each whisper, every shadow and light,
Together they dance, from morning till night.

But it’s not just the sights, or the sounds we hear,
It’s the feeling of oneness, the drawing near.
To the pulse of the Earth, its rhythm and song,
Where all elements of nature truly belong.

So, as words flow from my pen, as verses intertwine,
I’m reminded that nature’s essence is truly divine.
For in every line, in every poetic endeavor,
Nature’s wonders and beauty will live on forever.
