NO HORIZON

In s year of quirky weather

We have another day with

No horizon to be seen. It is

Bright enough to hurt your

Eyes. The clouds rolling in

Are beautiful and gives you

One more reason to love

Nature and the Almighty

Who gives it to us. There

Are times of tornadoes,

Hurricanes and forest fires

That we question why we

Are made to suffer the

Horrific damage and injuries

But these things

Bring us back to acknowledge

All the good things that happen

In nature and all the beauty

We observe on a day-to-day basis.

A hummingbird flew from flower

To flower and couldn’t find enough

Nectar so it flew off and up

Through the clouds to a branch

In a pine tree. It stayed for a while

Then flew off again looking for

Some new plants to investigate.

Nature gives and takes, a lot

Like humans and we can only

Wish that there is more giving.
