Untouchable

With the things of nature,
There are many things we never see,
Or should never see,
Like a pine cone as abandoned as a
                         newborn
                         duckling,
A rock as free as a flag walloping in the wind,
Soil as anew as a fresh idea,
The gleaming aroma of the air,
                  like a bed of roses,
A fish jumping happily like a grasshopper
                in a open field,
Whispers through the tress as though
                they were speaking,
A cloud as soft as the pillow,
                 I lye my head on every night,
This beauteous picture could never be
                                          painted,
         And should never.
