Just a Natural Thing

Just A Natural Thing Emerging into the coolness of the frost on the ground, Nature calls deeply to my soul with its sweetest sound Fall has sunk in with its widespread leaf killing bite The wild woods so naked present a less appealing sight. Sunset breeze stings much more in its calm and cool way, Nature demands more from furry critters in hardship pay Owls know the coming change will bring them more meals Drastic change spreads across meadows, woods and hills. This coming bleak and savagely measured epic onslaught, a lethal trap to the many critters unprepared and caught No mercy given in Nature's most wrathful and cold season Nature demands weak and sick die, survival is the reason. Spring awaits killing off of the useless, and its unneeded. Its garden must flourish with beauty after its been weeded! Robert J. Lindley, 08-01-2015

Thank you my friend. Nature's beauty is so highly loved, praised and written about but rarely do poets point out its savagery and elimination of the weak in order to keep healthy and plentiful the strong..
