Law of Nature

Earth around me felt the lightning Trees trembled, their new leaves bravely hanging on Wildflowers, innocence awaked in beauty Shined their light in gratitide Ground mice, dodging the strike Sought warmth in familiar covens My hand, my own hand, part of the earth Stroked the grasses within reach The air filled my nostrils with a sense of humid calm Far more peaceful than any law, manmade Far more peaceful Than any law ...Manmade 03/22/13

Nice title...a little scientific. I thought you would go on further. I like the contrast and symbol used in this piece.
