Nature's harsh harmony (Vol 3 No 5)


Contemplate all nature’s beauty

And embrace its darker side;

Life as sacrifice is ordered; 

Sometimes life will be denied;

Celebrate with adoration

New growth after seeds have died.

 

Nature’s children need protection

As they struggle to survive;

And when grown, threat always hovers;

Yet they linger, even thrive;

Celebrate with adoration

Life with its unending drive.

 

Life, in tension, sings a chorus

Of a constant melody;

Life and death are ever present –

Nature’s own harsh harmony;

Celebrate with adoration

Life’s victorious energy.

 

Death will never have dominion

Even though it has its place;

Life breeds life; is never conquered;

Life will always win the race;

Celebrate with adoration;

Glory in this gift of grace.
