Speculum Naturae Matris - Mother Nature's Mirror

Many tales encase mirrors both glittering and new, still the reflections portrayed may become distorted by a single crack thus one becomes many. Light absorbed and then broken in to an array of colour; many smiles surround the boundless room of Mother Nature’s good will. The purest of white floats across the bright blue sky, like magical boats carrying the very essence of innocence. Then yet human nature is selfish thus reflecting a darker side; we all harbour inner demons that manifest themselves, like the sly virus created by man that leaves a path of destruction across and within nature’s niches. But still Mother Nature forgives for her resilience is beyond the claws of man; She will remain even when we are gone for day and night are locked in an eternal cycle for ever to be the mirror in to which we peer in to her world. Regardless of our selfish nature She will always be heard whenever we need teaching from wrong to right; her voice is always there in the form of eruptions from her fiery belly, violent quakes from within her soul and almighty thunder from within her powerful lungs creating tornadoes and hurricanes alike. Still Mother Nature is forgiving but our inner demons continue to shadow the mirror in to her world thus we are destined to overstep our limitations and end up trapped in a whirlpool of denial and false hope.
