Some images of nature need no words to embellish …

Each day something strange reaches out,

Often from a very beautiful source,

Then unexpectedly, it takes my breath away,

And scares me.

As the tentacles and the poison nears my skin.

Once again, the day comes without interruption,

Stamping the ground with another soft step,

But one which always lands, consistent, reliable, unavoidable.

So it is up to me to change the outcome,

Or let it pass unnoticed.
