Rhapsodies of Nature

RHAPSODIES of NATURE ************ Rhapsody of the deep oceans, Fathomless abysses, soft music flows. Quietus, in respect of all the dead. Eternity defines these dark depths. Story? As yet, waiting to be read. Rhapsody of the earths atmosphere Fathomless thoughts abound up there Quietus, debt paid freedom rules Eternity where lies should not exist. Story? Hark, birds sing migrating. Rhapsody of planet Earth, thunder! Fathomless violence, countries at war! Quietus, unnecessary death rules! Eternity where, look up to the sky. Story? For mans mistakes nature cry's! *****************

I love the way you've used the required words as the first word of each stanza, the final stanza packs a punch Mick , no wonder the earth cries when it sees the devastation caused by man:-(hugs jan xx
