What She Taught Me

She taught me that

"the grass is also alive

and listening."

She taught me to see 

the beauty of the earth

even more clearly.

She gave me gifts of sky

and bird and song.

Her words helped me

better love this world,

and my "one wild 

and precious life."

for Magaly's prompt at Real Toads: to write keeping in mind Mary Oliver's words, that poetry "mustn't be fancy".
