Earth is resilient and she will survive. We humans are the ones in peril.

The Mystery of Symme”tree”
The meandering pattern
of rivers and veins
branches and horizons repeating
the grace of symmetry
found in nature
where function
overrules perfection
Fractured fractals
in balanced harmony
sing the universal code of
mathematical probability
bringing imperfect beauty
to life
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #251: Mathematics
Buzz
Stiff wind surrounds
A buzz of chainsaws
Autumn in Florida
Ditches
Ditches doing
What ditches do
Dragonfly paradise
Tango
Trees tango
Dancing in the streets
Entangled embrace
Lichen Love
Where once there was nothing
Sprouts delicate symbiosis
Emergent energy intertwined
Into nature’s tangled tattings
Blue green as earth’s beginnings
With antediluvian memories
Surrounding us unnoticed
In a lichen lace soliloquy
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #231: Nothing and #232: Emergent
Trapped
There is no point in running
Because there’s no place to go
Trapped by our own behavior
In a state of internal limbo
While the world keeps turning
And nature rebounds
In our absence
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a word Challenge #226: Running
Naturalist Shack
Where there was once a parking lot
An environmental education building
Now stands surrounded by a mass of water
As an ironic reminder
That everything is connected
and both actions and non-actions have consequences
Denial doesn’t change facts
Drowning in ignorance and greed
Climate change
Sea level rising
The naturalist shack
Returns to nature
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenges #221: Mass and #222: Connections
Fractured
A surreal world
Seventy miles of broken
Fractured by the wind
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #201: Fractured
