    A few hours rain
    In 53 days. The frogs
    Sang loudly that night

    But are now silent.
    The lakes and rivers are dry.
    Wild fires are burning.

    Frightened creatures hide
    In their burrows, but cannot
    Escape. Little birds

    In their nests are too
    Young to fly away. This is
    Nature’s Great Cycle.

    A little mouse lay
    Dead on my trail. He ached with
    Thirst. One dewdrop would

    Have sustained him. But
    There were none. He closed his eyes
    To lie in the dust

    And then his heart stopped.
    I told his tiny spirit
    I mourned his passing.

    I gently laid him
    In the long grass by the trail,
    A soft resting place.

    But Mother Nature
    Will never intend to hurt.
    It is all God’s Will.

    Heart note to selves says

    Why sitting alone for days
    Solving the Problem

    Why. The equation
    of worlds hunger solved right
    at the start failed ?

    It merely says that
    We are failing to read it
    Quite yet, slow and dumb

    Caught in the storm all
    that flew ...and while the skies were
    laughing for you , so small.

    Two great beasts battle
    To the death. It is not our
    Place to intervene.

    It has always been
    Like this. There is no malice,
    Simply Nature’s Way.

    No hate, no evil,
    No torture, no vengefulness.
    Only Man Does This.

    Fight of beasts, one monster
    Sitting on fence, trying not to see
    But one insight, changed all.

    I say nothing now

    but my heart cries out in pain

    I can not explain
    Question Everything, always speak truth... Make the best of today, for there may not be a tomorrow!!! But, that's OK because tomorrow never comes, so we have nothing to worry about!!!

    Rain, rain, precious rain
    A gift of life to thousands
    Of grateful creatures.

    The densest damp cloud
    Surrounded us as we hiked,
    Reviving countless

    Tiny flowers which
    Opened their hearts to the sky.
    I was nearly as

    Blind as my dog. There
    Was no trail to follow, but
    We were always safe.

    Both happily lost,
    Marveling at nature’s grace,
    Eventually back

    Home to celebrate
    With warmth, food and drink. It was
    A beautiful day.

    In a world where
    myriad species come to
    play, I find my home

    Where light casts shadows
    few have ever conceived, where
    daybreak comes and goes

    I wander, and wonder
    where the next breath will take me---
    what lays at these feet?
