Nature

















Nature by its nature is pressed with intricate blueprints

a leaf is not a leaf but an oak, poplar, or elm
each recognized individually but with the same intrinsic design
a stem with branches embedded in a mass of green
turned to red, yellow, orange then falls
catches sunlight to sustain the trunk and roots.

All trees carry their genetic pattern
from a seed grows the tree uniquely
separate from other trees of different families.

There is no nature or nurture in the world of trees
unlike human beings regardless of their basic outline
can grow up to be murderers, doctors, or prophets
grown from the same genetic design?
