Contest about Finding Connection to Nature

I want poems about the connection you feel with nature. I am in love with nature and I feel that having poems of Nature shows true feelings.
I don't want anything but that.
GIVE ME A WAY TO IMAGINE IT IN MY MIND!

Rules:
No CB chat lingo here.
Appropriate please.
Nothing Emo, Goth or scary unless thats how you got your connection.
And I am allowing NO prewrites.
