Natural Laws
Spring may give flowers
although never snow.
Summer may bring heat
but simply not Fall.
Earthquakes lend tremors
not stability.
Rivers are flowing
never standing still.
Monarchs migrate south
never to the north.
One could not expect
Spring to offer snow,
Summer to give fall.
earthquakes to support,
rivers to stand still,
Monarchs to fly north.
So why do we?
