Greg Gaul Poet Free verse

The Universe Understands Itself

Daughters see mothers die
Bees swarm to stay alive
New stars shine in the sky
Wolves howl at a full moon
Heartstrings from baby's cries
Flowers bloom in street cracks
A blind boy plays piano
Cars swerve to miss ducklings
Vultures claim raw roadkill
Forests regrow from fires
Some seeds can wait decades 
Hence poems may make some sense

Gary Radice February 4, 2026 at 10:15 PM I often think that we need nature more than nature needs us. Fine writing Greg. Cheers - Gary Greg Gaul February 12, 2026 at 5:01 PM You pose an interesting question Gary. But I guess you know the truth that I have more questions than answers. Regardless, thanks for your visit and thoughts. To your comment...I think we are nature. Toodles my friend.
