The Magnitude of Her Power As trees sway laboriously heavily laden In storms wake, Ornamental flora collapse drenched With quagmire, Well-arranged nosegays wade petals high In sine pool rings Flights of foul grounded unwillingly Hiding in safety Transformation taking place as Nature Unleashes turbulent unrest Testimonial To the powers she possess Wiping mans footprints From upon her surface, taking his mark Threshing it about Leaving only that which should be displayed Nature’s glory untouched Vile not her beauty She “speaks” we tremble, Yet lovingly She treasures all upon her surface My spirit heeds her repose Taking note Lessons learnt from tranquillity’s silent, Splendid aftermath waits If eye’s open to the message given The magnitude goes both directions In Natures realm, Its man, who doesn’t listen, eyes closed He takes Until his greediness tilts the scales Bypassing Natures warnings, Simply playing A game he shall not win A game of take until there is no more To “take” But Nature is as persistent as man is By, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

I would say that Mother Nature always wins out. . . but do we really mind??? Wonderful Cerenity. . . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Hi Poeminister, Thank you so much, sometimes things just fly so fast here, yet it took along time to write it, Hi Sven, Yes I am so glad she wins most of the time, and thank you for stopping by, Love, Cerenity |
