NATURE LAUGHS

Great Lake shores

  Quiet this night

Peaceful interlude

    Refrains

From showing its might

Waves calm

    As the wind dies down

No way to fix or know

    The time of the next show

Smiling wind assumes

  It will be busy soon

Doing the things

    You can’t do or control

No permits necessary

  That’s a laugh!

New dunes form

  Ever so slowly

The change from year to year

    Hard to even notice

“Part of my craft”

Speaks the breeze

    We remain helpless

Nature as a mother

  Has her own way of nurture

Difficult to understand

  Just don’t disturb her

Species change daily

  Under her care

We can do nothing

  Nor should we dare
