'Neath cover of ink-black night
she takes flight.
In the wink of an eye
an owl will spy
a nocturnal delight.
Rustling leaves
reveal scurrying shrews,
diverse treats for those that fly
through the midnight fogs,
shrouding mists and morning dews.

Most of nature lives in harmony,
in ebb and flow, give and take,
according to some universal
survival principles
the laws of Eternity
set in motion long ago.

Nature knows
there is
no other way.

So true and so beautiful.
To not recognize that is to miss out on the romance of life itself.

Excellent!

Kacy,

What nature knows is not always what humans know, and I'm glad of that.

Love Bobby

It takes a special person to be able to read the miniature forrest, which is,
the book of nature.

You're beautiful Kacy!

"what nature knows", you know ~ and it shows!

"'Neath cover of ink-black night
she takes flight."

~ I was captivated immediately!

Love & a warm, healing hug,

This is so comforting, microcosmically and macrocosmically and so enriching - and addictive, in the nicest sense of the word.

Midnitesun - Nature does indeed have a built in survival mechanism for all of us. The owl understands, the bear understands and the insect understands. The only chaos that attempts to undermine it all is in the ignorance of Man. Thanks for the reminder Midnitesun. Namyh

Loved this poem

Nature truly knows no other way but to let the strong prey.
