Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

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.

Paul Callus November 22, 2014 at 5:36 AM 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

Robert Lindley November 19, 2014 at 9:55 AM 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.

Liam Mcdaid November 19, 2014 at 1:51 AM really love how you drew this robert brewed a storm in this teacup pal lol excellent pen got me thinking seeing you have the sunset teapot pour a little my way ha ha Robert Lindley November 19, 2014 at 9:57 AM 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!
