Of Peace and Drama
she takes her camera to the bit of land that
she works
looking for bees and butterflies hoping
to find
a Monarch flitting among the milkweed she has planted
a place
where they can lay their eggs, where caterpillars munch the leaves
where peace
is sometimes an illusion, as insects and birds play out the drama of who
exists

So true! Nature can be peaceful, but it’s also red in tooth and claw…

Oh, I love the form. and also how little drama we really perceive when you look at nature with a human eye… I bet that birds don’t sing to please us.
