never noticed it before
about fall's leaves
being redder
than that what spring brings us
no pollen either
when the wind picks them up
no telling
where they will wind up
now I've not been on this old earth
all that long
no matter I can gaze at the heavens
and understand
things will more than likely
go on uninterrupted
for a few hundred millions of years
mankind may be gone
or morphed into something quite
different that we are today
but somehow I refuse to believe
this ole universe
will find a way to self destruct

Well Jerry you are right.  If you want to get scientific about it, energy can never be destroyed it just takes another form. You could say in a round about way we eat sunshine everyday. The vegetation uses the sunlight to make food, the vegetation  becomes food for us and the mammals we eat.
I like your ponderings in this poem.

Thanks Lori for explaining the recycling process of the universe. That is a good way of explaining things.
