Nature Vs. Nature


The dark night whispers
lulling words, unspoken,
but somehow heard.
The wind whirls violently
as clashes of thunder strike
again and again.
The final time they meet . .
      creating a tiny spark.
The spark blazes brightly . .
      new and innocent.
Feeling, breathing and growing
      more and more with each breath.
Created by nature,
but at the same time. .
destroying it.
Unknown to the danger
it is causing,
      it creeps along.
It hungrily feeds
on the crisp night air,
    and thirsts
for the dry autumn garden.
