Nature Rules
As the seasons change, nature shows her power
bringing all the things needed for healthy growth.
The rain that in turn, beats down and then gentles.
Encouraging young shoots to root deep and thrive.
The days lengthen growing ever warmer
all around are signs of life that nature
in all her wisdom tends with tender care.
Bringing a vast array of colours setting pallet alight.
Then with rage she turns and shows her displeasure
in graphic detail as she destroys what she created.
Rage that we mere mortals dare defy her and she
lays waste to crops with hurricanes and tornado's.
How to appease her awful deadly wrath?
Maybe by working with nature instead of against,
following her gentle rhymes and doing away with
fossil fuels, growing trees to stable corroded earth.
Living in harmony and trying to do no damage
to this beautiful place we call our home.
Yes give respect to nature and she will return it
over a hundred fold and life will live on peacefully.
