kick the dust
                                                               drum up a fight
                                                               feel the air freeze
                                                               on a cold summer's night
                                                               dance with the shadows
                                                               soak in moon's rays
                                                               twilight will pass
                                                               to the dawning of day



                                                               hell's fire flickers
                                                               freeze over land
                                                               bury your mistakes
                                                               in the passing of sand
                                                               twinkle the stars
                                                               glint in her eyes
                                                               Mother Nature's Call
                                                               to heed, to the wise



                                                                                    Margaret Alexandria Yoong
