Nature

I am rain sinking into porous stone.
Wind rustling limbs, giving Autumn 
leaves their final push; 
the fall they've been waiting for.
A stray ember- searching, hungry,
and desperate. Eating myself alive.
I am a seashell cast ashore by the tide,
shining miraculous colors back at a
proud Moon that no one is there to see.
I am Chaos.
I am Peace.
And, nothing at all.
