You

 You

The untamed rivers are running their course.

And emptying themselves into the expansive, tempestuous seas

Only to refill and repeat the process afresh.

Day after day and night after night.

Yes – day after day and night after night.

The great horned owl hoots.

And the deadliest jaws hunt

And the weak are chased down and devoured mercilessly

It’s the circle of life.

Day after day and night after night

The scorching sun rises in the east, and sets in the west.

And the sequin – silver stars appear in the night- time sky.

And we gaze up and stare with wonder

At Polaris, Sirius, Antares and Rigel

Without even blinking our eyes

And everything is so foreseeable & predictable.

In this amazing universe

And then there’s you.
