Happenings.

Reflections on the indifference of Nature.

 

 

HAPPENINGS.

 

Strange that

gazing through shade to sunlit leaves
I see evergreen's golden-glint shades 
lose a few shoots, in alchemy's fated 
spin, to mutate in lake while weaving 
anew destiny's shape-changing mood.

Strange that

Pooled silence then shatters in un-rest
as newt struggles with live moth-food
and as I try to watch I hear bird-rage
when thrush battles intent of cuckoo
as eggs are lost to indifferent nature.

Strange that

When mature and life-webbed Today 
covets happenings bedded in endings
after beginnings that, birthed, rooted 
and settled Tomorrow crumbles away.

Tis strange indeed these happenings... tis nature tho and strange as it might seem it always will be... however cruel or unfair it may seem, at the end of the day tis nature and therefore natural.. always and infinitely.... unless Man fool that he is gets in the way..... an interesting study and muchly enjoyed....

The lead into the body, being a bit too verbose, is supposed to link to the final reflection that as with nature's complete indifference so Today's happy happenings Tomorrow will crumble away - - bit negative when I re-read the piece -- but I spect tis the nature of things as you say......... thanking you avidly for your review................. x
