A Silent Ovation Do you actually know why they were created? The emotions of the universe are what I speak of. Their purpose and cause are daily debated; But why...? They are all just signs of love. The rain merely tears of life so sorrow; The snow no more than a fluffy blanket of protection. The stars are only the brilliant promise of tomorrow. They all promise us life and relay us early detection. The wind, kindly,... yet forcibly, offers us power; The sun showers us with warmth and vigor. The moon can only offer a nite-lite from it's tower. All are only offerings of ways found no bigger. The lightning gives us a brilliant,yet, silent ovation; While the thunder lends us the spectacular applause. These are just nature's way of giving us motivation. They are only trying to show they believe in our cause. Mark Bohannan [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 07-20-2000).] |

It's as if each gift of nature is just for us and no one else. Some see it or hear it while others Feel it as you seem to. Beautifully done Mark, you have woven a perfect portrait of Mother Nature in all her glory~ |
