Workings of Nature


Although barely, the sun was still casting
Its light as she slowly descended
Beyond the tree-lined horizon.

A view of the grey-free sky revealed
A beautiful contrast of rainless clouds
Highlighted by the setting of the sun.

Nature has taught us that time waits on
No one, not even clouds and light. She
Will set and her light will disappear. The
Clouds will move on, no longer beautified
By the light.

A gaze at a peach tree from my window
Revealed motionless leaves seemingly
In a state of rest unaffected by wind as
 They anticipated the coming of the night.
