... It's a fight both sides want to win ...


Woke up this morning to the sky
warring.  No storm:  only the sun
parting clouds, determined to stop
the clouds from crying.  It's a fight

both sides want to win:  no victor,
yet.  Sometimes, the advantage goes
to the sun; sometimes, the rain:  it's
like two kids coloring with one

box of crayons between them.  They
co-operate, sharing shaded
hues of joy.  If the Heavens learned
to get along, why didn't man?

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (11/12)

Well said Karla. Nature works within the rules set forth by God because it has no choice. Man does not because he was given free will. Alas, poor fools.

A lovely analogy that is so true. We can learn so much from the world around us if we take the time to look.

Yes, Karla, you are right, nature has it figured out, why can't mankind follow suit!

Co-operation, your poem, is most insightful and hope filled. We need to learn to share instead of dividing.

Man's ways have always been combative and the politicians egg it on because war makes money...not that it costs lives...it's $$$$ I think we need to rethink the political process in this country.
Love,

Why can't I look at the sky like that, it is as if you have your own video show to observe . . . But then I'm not the "StormSpinner," you are . . .

Karla~

Love the comparison: two kids vying for one box of crayons, or the battle between sun/clouds. Great anology here; brava! Extremely well penned! A lesson we adults can all learn from: if nature can co-operate, then why can't mankind? Sad!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(
