Nature's Epilogue - tear it apart!

[lauraelizdok]

I watch the sun in passing
to its hand the green does grow;
through its awesome powers
the gift of life does flow.

I watch in apprehension
this golden deity at work
when I see the gift of life withdrawn
turning fertile oasis
into barren desert.

And I can't help but wonder
if it is written by design
in nature's contract of power
a sub-clause of decline.

I see the sun bring Eden
I see the rain guard the fruit;
I see two forces restraining
from what in-silo each can do.

And if such be Her intention
A just balance in life's span
Is it to any wonder
what will result of man?

I see it all around me
In sad streams, and sinking ice slopes too
the sins we have created,
the lamenting we must do.

But nature wrote long before us
a steady and condign plan
and in that, perhaps She always knew:
man will destroy man.
