The only Law

"The turbulent waves,
Whipped by winds.
The ships on the water,
Being bobbed along,
Like a child's toy.
They've been turned,
Into an object
Of insignificance,
By this vastness of nature."
Staring at the ocean during a storm
Shows how fragile and inconsiquential we are.
But, blinded by self-importance
Smiling ironically, I muse.
For in arrogance
We think we are,
Unique, invincible and immune to mortality.
And, oh yes, above the law of nature.
But, in final analysis
We are not.
Nature IS the only law,
Inexplorable and unchanging.

Hey, quick question, anyone here from the Caribbean?

Every action of our lives touches some chord that will vibrate in eternity.
