Natures Song A wise old lady once showed me That the apple was a perfect fruit It contains the life giving powers Carried to the leaf from the roots There is a saying I once heard, That you can't fool Mother Nature But there is still a bitter truth Mans desire to be a fools creator Look around this wondrous place You'll see the magic of her touch Natures golden song in harmony For the Earth she loves so much I question now on smoggy days If her greatest work was us All Though she gave us songs to sing The melody is death and self-distruct.

Your words are all too true...death and distruction...killing the true beauty of the world, the natural beauty. Powerful words here, I enjoyed! *Krista Knutson* "You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back." -Barbara DeAngelis |

I see your pen has ink once again. ( hey that ryhmed!!.cool! ) Anyway, I think it is great story and I particulary like the third verse. But your last verse says it all. A very powerful message in this one.....

You had to know that with that title I would have to stop and read. You have said it all wise sir. The last few lines sum it up in just a heartbeat. This is definitely in my file forever. Thanks for spilling ink for this one. |

"I question now on smoggy days If her greatest work was us" So very well said, Parker. One must keep questioning, and finding the "right" answers. Loved this piece, my friend. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
