Nature’s Lesson

















Nature works in cycles
of destruction and renewal
the ebb and flow,
life and death

and in those changes she creates beauty
butterflies, birds, lizards, fish, flowers
diverse and wondrous in their complexity
interdependent on each other

colors of the subtlest hue
detail to the tiniest scale
and in this world humans are given
a chance to recreate her beauty

to stand in a field awash with sunlight
frozen ice crystals and snow
recognizing nature’s loving hand
and with some effort

capture a hint of her spirit
and bring it to life for others
to enjoy.
