Life According to Nature...

like a wave upon the ocean,
the top of the forest moves,
guided by a northern breeze;
bringing the mountains its frigid freeze...

leaves falling like rain,
colored by their dying,
sharing the pain,
while the pines stand crying...

a new carpet laid by the old,
blanketing the unborn from the cold,
a shelter of wisdom falling,
for the lost with a silent calling...

from within a forest of hope,
where nature's learned to cope,
unspoken words whispered in the wind,
knowing where youve been...

the cycle of life;
ever dying, being reborn,
each pierced by its thorn,
always battling the elements,
of its unforgiven strife...
