Indifferent Nature.
Gazing through shadow to uplit green
I see sycamore's golden-glint shades
lose a few leaves in fate's wind-bated
spin to watery disintegration, weaving
anew destiny's shape-changing azure.
Protective twigs cover egg-laden nest
until predator visit from domed space,
pool's silence breaks in deathly unrest
as newt struggles with live moth-food
and I have to watch indifferent nature.
Cobwebbed with questions each today
covets happenings forecast to endings
after beginnings which birthed, rooted
and here, tomorrow will crumble away.

oh no, hope you feel better soon dear Fay
'Cobwebbed with questions
each today
covets happenings forecast
to endings
after beginnings'
so deep, and so true
we must treasure our now
reminds me of a line from the Magnifico himself, Lorenzo:
'Nought ye know about to-morrow'

Good write Fay.
Ouch indeed Fay .. I am so sorry to learn of your present discomfort .. I know first hand just how bad a frozen shoulder can be .... Great poem re-posted .. PS How did you manage to frame it like that? x
Frozen shoulder is indifferent too. I hope it doesn't last as long as mine did.......
I've admired the way you structure your poems before ..must repeat that once more, Fay.
And of course: 'Get well soon'!
Your pic lends itself beautifully to this poem dear Fay. The hidden life of Nature is revealed only when we take time to be still, observe, and be awestruck by its splendor. A wonderful write my friend. Hope you are on your way to a healthy and speedy recovery.
Reflections of the meaning of life and its cycle. Our vision is too short and narrow to see the magnificence of all you so beautifully portray in such wonderfull wording.
