After the Storm, Rebirth

After The Storm, Rebirth Storm has torn the majestic forested scene as ravaged are the shrubs on high hills Surviving birds yet sing and calmly preen unmindful of last night's ripping thrills Trees now broken, toppled at Nature's behest all forested tranquility yet to be restored Nature shook violently and did its very best lakes many boats sunk where they moored From this destruction new life shall reign savage death brings on creation's birth Beauty shall come with all that we see plain earth renews the landscape for all its worth I see with these renewing things a greater plan All teaches life's lessons to the heart of man Robert J. Lindley, 11-17-2014 Inspired by Gry's Christensen's poem , Brewing Sunsets In Teapots that I read early this morn.

I enjoyed this sonnet, Robert. Nature is always a worthy subject to write about; it never lets us down...it is people who let IT down. Hurt and disillusion is not provided by nature, but by humans. // paul

Peter I believe you see even deeper than I into Nature. Yes my friend, I see it very clearly. A shame that more people do not see it.. You and I both see Nature in a greater light than most do. Thus we write about it in a different way and with a different spirit.

THANKS Liam, BEAUTY OF NATURE AND ITS DESTRUCTION COMPARES TO THE BEAUTY OF LOVE AND ITS DESTRUCTION. That is what this write is about and its vehicle was my relationship with my first great love and how that ended.. All eventually came to nought!
