Nature

Nature in its wildest form
Stirs the spirit deep inside
No power could surpass the winds
No fury could outdo the tides

We search for reasons yet unknown
For nature’s unrelenting power
Then moved we are as equally
By sweet perfection of a flower

Absolutely, Elizabeth, from majestic power nature unleashes we are in awe of it, to the perfect, beautiful rose which gives us a subtle catch in our throats. Nature. Perfection.

In a poetic style of king David, with the wisdom of old king Solomon,
and the humanity of Job…  you have written an excellent exposé of God’s creation.


Beautiful write, Liz!

You display beautifully the contrasts between sheer fury and delicate perfection nature exhibits for us daily.  Wonderful poem.

Just wonderful, dear Elizabeth. There is fascination even at the edge of terror.
