Life Is Tenuous

Fleetingly the day begins
Clouds roam in and out
Cold air seizes my imagination
Shaken the oak tree melts into the driveway
The cardinal pecks away at a piece of seed
Cat watches with avid interest
Life is tenuous

Storm comes up suddenly
Rain pelts us with ice cold jabs
Warmth was not appreciated until now
Clouds have dissipated 
Gray white sky winks angrily 
Oak tree disappears 
Blurry eyed people are bewildered
How did this happen?
Life is tenuous

I believe this to be absolutely one hundred percent true.
