Poems on Nature
The power, ingenuity, and sheer beauty found in nature has always fascinated mankind. When we look at powerful ocean waves rolling in, we cannot help but feel small and powerless in comparison.

Forlorn as ashes, shrivelled, scentless, dry -
Meadows and gardens running through my hand. -

fast in a corner of his mouth. -
