The Power of Nature
She waits beneath
Barely constrained
Waiting to wrap the world in
Vines, grass, bacteria
To fill the world’s oceans with
Krill, fins, coral
Life
We think ourselves powerful
That she is contained, under control, beaten back
Beaten down
That she is orderly, predictable, tame
It is a lie we tell ourselves
For if we rest but for but an instant
Life bubbles over
Spilling in disorderly pools and currents
Sharing her bounty without judgment
Seeking only
The dance
