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.
