    About this ebook

    It’s Only Natural is a collection of poetry delving into the many emotions, facets, and perceptions that connect the human experience to the world of nature. Humans have for years attempted to control, and contain the natural world, only to find that it is uncontainable. Nature has, and must always; prevail for the sake of humankind. This collection shines a light on the joys, and sorrows of the natural experience.
