Nature’s Will

Nature’s Will

She is strong

She is a survivor

Cut her down

She will be back

Just give her time

She will overcome all.

 

It’s nature’s will:

Nature’s will to live.

 

She can adjust to time

Spent messing around in her home

Because time is on her side

Push her around

Dump on her

But remember

She’s one strong woman

 

She can’t be held down

She can’t be held back

She’ll knock the walls down

And send man back a million years.

Story

Walking in Sherman Oaks on the way home by the 405 Freeway. Looking at how within a short period of time the weeds spring up through the sidewalk cracks, slowly moving what should be impenetrable material aside via a thin little blade of green carbon.

Saw this building in Detroit, MI… an apartment that had been sitting there for years in disrepair and now the vines were taking over. Perfect accompaniment to my poem!
