Tail Gate Party

Tail Gate party revised.

A noon day event
To bring joy to a friend.
I brought a party to her home.

There from my tail gate,
Chairs were set,
Whiskey poured,
And cigars lit in full earnest.

In silence we sat,
With contemplation only on the now.
As my friend pulled euphorically on her cigar,
I examine the area around.

There among the trash and debris,
Nature was having its way.
Once more, balance had arrived in the wake of man,
Once more, nature’s gentle hand was righting the world.

Among the disturbances of trash and debris,
Nature coiled its gentle fingers around the aberrations.
For nothing is truly wrong in nature.
Everything has its place.
Balance is everlasting.

But what is man but a temporary annoyance to nature.
A small blip in the timeline of its soul.
But in the end, it is nature has that has its way.
When this consciousness, this soul, departs its earthly vessel.
It is to nature to which we return it.

And in our very hearts, we understand
the balance that it brings.
Despite our attempt to dominate it
or change it to our image,
It is Nature that has the final say.
