We are nothing.

Grey skies adrift
hover over pools of light;
windstorms scatter tree branches,
leaves, even trunks,
along the levee
that is bare with footprints;
scarce birds seen soaring
through yellow water
and purple air,
as in some kind of mocking dance.

What beauty can be found in brutality…
Nature’s unforgiving nature;
the Universe indifferent to collective consciousness,
though I am sure She respects it.
We are nothing.
We are nothing.

Just when Nature’s climax has been reached
and skies turn clear,
following the example of water,
perhaps, to closely,
a gentle drizzle permeates the air,
as in some kind of mocking dance.

What beauty can be found in brutality…
That which ignores humanity’s diurnal cycle;
that which knows no time;
She who has no respect for it.
We are nothing.
We are nothing.
