Life

Peaceful presence surrounds nature
In the cool quiet morn
Wispy clouds fan brushed decorate
A canvas newly born

Orange marmalade sunlight glows
Through silhouetted pines
Casting lavender upon clouds
Making their glory shine

The constant hum of crickets bright
And roosters' noisy den
Gives a pleasant orchestra ring
To a great concert blend

The death angel visited a scene
He carried one away
Now we all know that Ebola
Can come here to stay

Our future is more uncertain
Will the dread disease spread
Who will be touched next in America
Where has safety now fled

The angel of death's arrival certainly does disrupt the peace and tranquility of our everyday lives. It is troubling to not know where it will appear next.... I did not expect that twist in the story, but it works to great effect. Well done, Sara!

we were warned that such thing would come in the end times. you really flipped the script with the last two stanza's. what brought that on? trying to make time for the soup job in the day and a lady friend at night makes it difficult. miss you john.
