Small Plague

Augustus

Another seed, bug or worm to
restore the spirit of a
startled nesting dove
eying me from distance
her weakened fledgling
another unforeseen sequence
to pleasured stroll
trampling seeds, bugs and worms,
disturbing nests
a small plague to nature
has this moment of understanding,
acceptance of the Great Spirit's plan
to return all to soil

    Sometimes it all seems so senseless . Like a revolving door going around and around . If life was an opera it would be Norma . A play , Romeo and Julie . A book , The Bible .

      Great comment. Thanks

    • Louis Gibbs

      Enjoyed this subtly expressed ode to nature's way. It is so easy to take her wonders for granted.

      • Augustus

        Thanks Louis .

        Nature expressed in all her trials your words echo the ways she is plagued by humans who uncaringly destroy much precious material and nutrition when birds nest - .......gratitude for sharing a need to watch where we tread dear Augustus.

          For you my dear, "where'er you tread the blushing flowers shall rise."
          Thanks.

            Marveling with you and about this wonderful gift: an 'economy of salvation'. Love the photo too.

              Very beautiful indeed. Made me think about the recycling process. I hope one day I will be recycled too. I'm already excited about what I will became.
