A
splash
of rain
darkening
the sky, as a truck
drones down the boulevard, the way
this day begins. Can I be lost in nature's rich life
enticed by a blur of light, the creep of creatures in their home, the forest of this day
or will I be called to see the impact on all kinds
within this scene? Would pollution,
greed and ignorance
warp my wish
for some
sweet
view.
