Simply Beautiful
It is so difficult
to measure oneself
and find comparison
or testament
to a life.

I am humbled
when considering the complexity
of nature’s replenishment
and the instinctual drive
which besets each to renew.

The beauty of a lily
the strength of a tree
winds blowing around the earth
and the sun, so far away,
which feeds life
upon her surface.

Reflection
and study
do not answer the questions
that remain,
I am humbled
by her greatness…
nature --- she is
simply beautiful.
