Nature’s ways and gifts Raise hope for The talent We may have or Desire to develop Clouds move away from the sun The light and brightness inspire Then gray and dark puffs of sky Bring a quick change in the weather Snowflakes large and plentiful Take away the vision of the horizon Then without notice, ceases, Leaving us in wonder Squirrels and birds carry on The deer come and go Larger footprints suggest wolves Who have a way of staying low The soft ground is scarred when Plowed to remove the snow Time will heal: No one will know Damaged fences will be mended in time The story of mankind The problem of understanding These mysteries keep us enthralled We celebrate the seasons The changes every day Staying true to our senses Is easier than keeping up on our work Somehow in the end Everything important gets done We have our fling being dismissive Then pay the price when we get flung It all works out like rain and thunder In the end we can only wonder, but We know that we are not in charge And realize we are safer that way Stanski July 12, 2021 ^
