Predator and Prey

The relationship between predator and prey is Nature's poetry in motion in its most bittersweet way. After I posted this poem, on my desk a cockroach did roam. I scooped up the little guy in the safety of my closed palm, then tossed it out my window so its life could live on, and as it slowly descended with a feather weight glide a bird preyed upon it as the bird happened to fly by. That's the one thing that's always troubled me about this great gift of Life. In order for one to stay alive, other living things must die.
