Natures Way

Natures Way

Wind blows across the field

There is nothing that can shield

Stalks of wheat from swaying

Just their roots keep them staying

Firmly planted in the ground

From the turmoil all around

The husks grip with endeavour

Will this chaos last forever

Then the sudden flash above

Spreading over like a glove

Each finger touches so

Shock of lightening they know

Some will shrivel from the blow

As they burst in flame & glow

Then they just are embers left

The farmer he will be bereft

The crop that he so gently sowed

To pay the debts that are owed

So he'll have to toil some more

As he did those times before

An act of God some may say

But it's only natures way
