Today Like All 
              Everything Changes

Nature is not easy-
 When the sun drinks liquid smiles 
         into dusty crevices upon brows
             and greed salivates in corners turned-down.
 
                         Nature is not easy-
 When storms twist arms 
         to dangle and swing as a noose 
              caught in a breeze until its twine relent.

Nature is not easy-
 When rain swells, birthing rivers
        through walls hung with pictures and 
              heritage floats-by to become sunken dreams.
    
                      Nature is not easy-
When land slavered rebels, 
        quakes, burying cries into one massive grave
             where a headstone roots a wall of memoirs.

Nature is not easy-
 When I stand in ruins inhaling freedom
        with my eyes pleading upward in an unequivocal ply
              to comfort us all 

                     When nature is not easy
