"Behind all flora, fauna, on this earth-
God's brush of nature fashions art from birth".
_by Poet
The art displayed by nature is a gift-
sometimes not noticed in a passing glance.
To pause, look, and admire creates a shift
as we observe this artwork- not by chance.
Yes, nature paints with its creative tools,
those grand designs on species of the wild.
It never deviates from patterned rules-
like how a Zebra's fancy coat is styled.
Amazing how those stripes, concentered-placed
around the neck extend into its mane.
The inkblot images continue, traced;
the balance of true symmetry, sustain.
The diamond shape of stripes upon its face
and those that meet precisely, strait or flared,
reveal that God steers nature's brush with grace;
how else could such perfection be declared?
