Edge of Nature

Edge Of Nature In beautiful thick, somewhat visible fields, sun burst through Reveals bright orange and yellow flowers in a sway Brushed, aided by a somber breeze in sleepy peace Black horrific elements terrorize with hurricane like forces at that moment Raging with rain, tearing through the nearby forest, destroying the scene Shadows in the ominous clouds scream and curse the calm Sweet tiny birds sporting red and green, dart through light and dark, come to rest Finding clear stream water to refresh and enjoy the day Observe remnants left over by the storm, then fly off, focused on the cool blue Night is the enemy, ready to kill at will, mercy sleeps oblivious To the fierce hunger, natures passion fulfilled, predators pace, wait their turn Death grips small animals as they slip from being into nothingness Bunnies leap for joy in the morning dazzling day as it cracks open Dancing on cleared carpets, stumbling past debris, rolling towards merriment Play like children in the golden fields, charmed by chance, just at the edge of nature Change races on with the calamitous rain downward To rocks that know how to hold their own in the deluge All seems right with the world in this orchestrated paradise
