The Natural Ways


Slowly comprehend the ways
Nature in its wisdom displays.

Nature honors the stillness of night.
It restores movement at the break of light.

There is purpose and place for all things made.
A masterful procedure of action is displayed.  

For miles and miles the rivers run by.  
For year after year they have not run dry. 

Some rivers show their stuff.
They reclaim their deed from bluff to bluff.

All things remain within a boundary found.
All in their duties and purpose abound.

Life moves on from the ages old. 
Who knows all the mysteries it holds?

When conditions are just right
The flowers bloom elegant and bright.

They provide the world with seed.
There are many living things to feed.
