Thoughts on Nature

(Fidalgo Island, Wa.)

Beauty and the Beast Nature is beautiful, quiet, and serene, nature is the forest, with its many shades of green. Nature is the birds, welcoming in the dawn, nature is a calf, struggling to its feet as soon as it is born. Nature is a salmon, swimming gainst the stream, nature is a volcanic geyser, venting off steam. Nature is a beast, kicking up a storm, nature is the trees all bent, and broken, looking so forlorn. Nature is lightning striking the ground, nature is a forest fire, consuming all around. Nature is a tornado, with its screaming roar, nature is a tidal wave, washing every thing ashore. Nature can be a beauty, and nature can be a beast. ~ Tango ~
