"Behind all flora, fauna, on this earth-
   God's brush of nature fashions art from birth".
                                                        _by Poet

The art displayed by nature is a gift- sometimes not noticed in a passing glance. To pause, look, and admire creates a shift as we observe this artwork- not by chance. Yes, nature paints with its creative tools, those grand designs on species of the wild. It never deviates from patterned rules- like how a Zebra's fancy coat is styled. Amazing how those stripes, concentered-placed around the neck extend into its mane. The inkblot images continue, traced; the balance of true symmetry, sustain. The diamond shape of stripes upon its face and those that meet precisely, strait or flared, reveal that God steers nature's brush with grace; how else could such perfection be declared?

Yes, it is remarkable how such miracles of design are created then recreated; clearly the work of a great creative artist. An interesting and thought provoking poem, Sandra.
