Nature's Revenge

 

Death's sweet scent,

winds blow a path of time,

leaves fall to the ground, buds

bloom into flowers along

the light of her love. Warm rays

shine through misty skies, the meal

of a leaf into the airs of our souls.

Crisp, clean circle of life continues.

 

Within only her beauty,

mysteries still unaware, certain

unnatural forces erode our home,

devouring her essence, her throne.

Disbelief, destruction, desolate land;

children cry, faded hopes fall

upon our ocean of unlocked knowledge.

These misguided hands of greed continue.

 

Angels beyond the light of the sun,

of every star that can be seen, upon

her unstable atmosphere, helpless white wings

flutter an angel who sings one prayer,

into the fading skies, of the violent storms

over the melting seas; churning vengeance

unknown. Inbalance -- infested nature's love,

continues uncontrolled till our blessed death comes.
