The Nature Of Change

 

The Nature Of Change

By Paul McCann  

 

Everything in life happens for a reason

and change is a part of that process .

 

Survival skills always happen

When ever life is threatened or put to the test .

 

Nature is governed by the four elements of the earth

fire , wind , water and air .  

 

Life is sustained and presented with change

by adapting to whatever is there .

 

Evolution is why the salmon swim up stream and cane toads migrate on the hop ,

The birds fly south and the penguins go on a march .

Life continues , it cannot stop .

 

Do the trees grieve for all of the lost leaves that fall

and are tossed around by the wind?

 

No , trees settle in for winter

and adjust to the change as each season comes in.

 

Did butterflies cry after being hurled through swirls

as tsunamis  crashed to the shore ?

 

No , they mutated to become stronger

and larger than they ever were before .

 

Do eucalypts die and become extinct

when bush fires rushed through the National parks ?

 

No, the fires released seeds and germination occurred

upon blackened charcoal  barks .   

 

Can life exist in a desolate desert

under the burning heat of the sun  

                                                                                                      

Yes , desert plants have grown longer roots

while waiting for the seasonal rains to come  .

 

Can life survive here on the planet

after the event of a nuclear war . 

Mankind is trying to adapt by not making

all those mistakes we did before .
