nature plays a song that’s constantly changing key and time signature
despite our efforts to make order in nature nature doesn’t care
where two paths converge they split if you’re walking the other direction
a walk in autumn is more rewarding than at any other time
we know tomorrow will be here for us each night with the setting sun
it showed suddenly crawling down the window pane the moon dropped toward dawn
to be in a place is to live what we survey and soak it all in
the flower is not showing off for us, it is trying to survive
waking to the sound of rain on the window feels like not waking at all
every morning the flower opens without fanfare or notice
