Nurturing Nature
Creation . . . so fundamental,
As genetic building blocks
Are bound and tied.
Dancing along a new foundation,
Where strength is gained
When power's applied.
Throughout growth,
A framework can be seen,
Emerging from what is learned.
Yet that knowledge is often tested,
Forged from a crucible,
To be tempered, not burned.
While great pressure surrounds,
As if to harden, with hopes
To bond beyond a break.
A natural outcome
Forms new directions,
That are possible to take.
This develops towards choice,
Where the weight of
Decision resides.
And if experience
Contributes to some wisdom,
To avoid the landslides.
Then destiny is reborn,
As time and space
May force a new fate.
Since by giving more
Than any taking ... we'll
Develop beyond all the hate.
