HAPPENINGS.
Strange that
gazing through shade to sunlit leaves
I see evergreen's golden-glint shades
lose a few shoots, in alchemy's fated
spin, to mutate in lake while weaving
anew destiny's shape-changing mood.
Strange that
Pooled silence then shatters in un-rest
as newt struggles with live moth-food
and as I try to watch I hear bird-rage
when thrush battles intent of cuckoo
as eggs are lost to indifferent nature.
Strange that
When mature and life-webbed Today
covets happenings bedded in endings
after beginnings that, birthed, rooted
and settled Tomorrow crumbles away.

A fine write Fay.
and they call it evolution.... strange that..... I have long called it nature...
a mighty poem if ever there was... with all manner of strengths .. I particularly like the way you set me thinking about each of the observations you have made......

Eeh bah gum lass, the'rs nowt strange bout nature nor nowt stranger than nature herself. For nature be a lady didn'cha know.
An it taks a reet poetic bint such as thee'sen to make a parcel a goodies wi words so fine that ... well.. so fine that yous could parcel em up in a chocolates box and give 'em as a lasting thing o beauty to a reet gud lookin young love.

Ha ha - -- well I have never been called a "reet poetic bint" and I shall treasure the feeling that from your pen it is a fine compliment my fine-feckled friend......... I shall be honoured to file this away as a girt luverly comment to look at on dull rainy days for a chuckle - -- Appen I thank thee now D.A.
Nature - your perception, quiet different from that of the moth or thrush or every single creature and plant... to them everyday is a fight to survive ....
.... but your words woven here, a rarity
