Mothers Nature
From the sun to the sea,
Constantly giving waves of energy.
Add in some rains and winds that blow,
And there's renewable power, we can grow.
While these natural forces seem infinite,
Their capture and use requires creativity.
Since they rely upon our specific needs,
Where they'll add or subtract electricity.
The diverse roots may involve some transfer,
Such as, storing and moving some heat.
Or even more basic, grabbing the sun's photons,
Sending them to darkness to finally meet.
The forms of this energy are plentiful,
As well as, sustainable to a much greater degree.
Since we realize the finite supply and dangers,
From an oil-based, global economy.
So while most of us have seen the examples,
Sounding the alarm from our historic past.
One can only hope that we follow the science,
By reducing our carbon footprint ... and fast.
