blundering
we see ourselves as masters without recognizing the vast intricacy of reality
haiku
more research confirms
how little we know of life
yet how sure we are
even an ‘if’
stop running away - stay and help
rejecting guilt does nothing to heal damage or to reverse
what we are doing to harm
even an ‘if’ i am part of what is happening
might make us aware of what we could do to help
laughing at Nature
An original poem by MaryJane Nordgren
i chuckle at how the bobcat cub saunters
through my back yard as though it were his
though he never offers to split the property tax bill
but my amusement is short-lived as i remember
Mother Nature’s taxes are matters
of life and death
