Natures Law

Sunlight dances across the old pond Reflections of bushes and tree's Wild grasses grow in the field beyond The buzz of the bumble bee. Nature reclaiming what is hers by right Healing scarred and derelict land Badgers foraging long into the night To feed the family they've planned. The music that the crickets make The owl taking to the wing The mole surfaces to take a break Nature is such a wonderful thing . Every crevice teams with life Every bush alive with song Cock displays to find a wife How on earth could this be wrong . Foxes dashing to the den Vixen carrying her cub in gentle jaws Animals hiding from the world of men Here they live by natures law.

Hi Daz.....nature is amazing and I couldn't agree more about urban sprawl instead of using and re-furnishing buildings that are already standing...oh for some wisdom and sanity instead of greed and insane self promotion. Let the wonder and delight of nature prevail.

ok, now let me read your poem here! Yes, this is a really nice one!!! I love the mention of so many different animals and your final stanza really sums up your point well. They are usually in hiding but will forever live by nature's law!

Aha but they hide from the world of men because we tear down their homes , You'll have to live a long time to see a shrew driving a bulldozer down your street to get revenge.

More and more I see new housing and businesses being built on fertile land Whilst land that has previously been built on stands idle , The kids of tomorrow will pay the price for the decisions we make today.
