A living and breathing sculpture.
It entices us.
It bemuses us.
It challenges us.
But most of all,
it inspires us.
A LIVING SCULPTURE
mother nature
HE STANDS IN HIS PLACE
The sun sets.
The animals prepare for the night.
The old elephant stands in his place.
He doesn’t need to move.
He has everything he needs.
He keeps a watchful eye
As he stands in his place.
A FORCE WE CANNOT BEND
Waves hit the rocks
with frozen blocks.
They plow through the sand,
sharp claws in their hand.
They ravage the shore,
coming back for more.
A battle with no end.
A force we cannot bend.
THE DANGER HAS HIT HOME
The earth weeps tears
to fill an ocean.
As oceans fill with waste,
no one takes notice.
As icebergs melt and crumble,
no one stops to listen.
But once a deadly virus appears,
the world wakes in an uproar.
The danger has hit home.
MOTHER NATURE
Nature takes its path,
removing the trash.
Enough humans for now.
So, take a final bow.
Let Mother Nature work to restore
the earth to what it was before.
AS WE HEAL
Stay in your home.
No reason to roam.
I know how you feel
but let the earth heal.
FLOWERS WILL BLOOM

The sun will shine again.
You will stroll with a friend.
Colorful flowers will take bloom.
Normality will be back soon.
RED SKY
The sky glows red
with anger.
It shrieks thunder.
It rains tears.
Lightning sizzles
across its angry face.
Wait.
Watch.
Listen.
The sky is still in command.
It shows its wrath.
Then it grows calm
and releases the blue skies.
WELCOME THE NIGHT
Welcome the night
And its good friend, the moon.
Do not take flight
From the man in the moon.
Let the moon take over
From the sun’s bright reign.
Let the sun take cover
Without severe pain.
A thick blanket will fall,
Giving the earth security.
Darkness will cover all
With its fine grace and purity.
For the sun, no need to pine.
Don’t waste precious time mourning.
The stars will twinkle and shine.
The sun will rise come morning.
GOODBYE OLD FRIEND
The world is changing.
Forests are dying.
Animals are becoming extinct.
Nature has taken control.
Days are warmer.
Rain falls harder.
Earthquakes rock the planet.
Hurricanes bring the winds.
Ocean waves dance to the deadly tune.
Bow to our new foe, Mother Nature.
Crime does its share,
But nature cleans the slate.
Towns and cities topple
Beneath the rubble.
The salt water hits my face
As I watch the waves rise.
I wait for the beautiful sight
To turn deadly and reckless.
The laps at the shore
Become heavy slaps.
Rocks and debris are
Thrown into the wind.
Soon I am drenched.
The ocean has come ashore
To wreck havoc on our lives.
My eyes tear as I search for
the ocean’s lost beauty.
I search for my old friend.
My old friend who’d soothed my fears.
My friend is long gone.
All is gone.
And so will we.
