Original Submission by Carter Russell Logan
The smell of roses…
So green no modern beauty could compete.
Life comes and goes
It is forever changing
But never fading.
Like us nature cries;
It screams,
But never like our raging minds.
We destroy worse than it!
The calm of waves,
The breeze on a winter day,
The crackle of a fire.
Nature will forever cry
WHY?
