Nature Over All

Water flowing quickly over the river bed
moss hangs tight to adjacent rocks
dragonflies flickering upon the ragweed  
leaves hanging low from the night’s storm.
owls searching for food in the dismal light
the forest provides shelter from the elements
nature presides and governs over all

Nature torments and tangles its abode
flooding its banks, taking up stakes
resettling transformation occurs in distant time
unlike genesis, nature recreates its global theater
which the environment becomes adapted 
and mankind has reason for acclimation
