Imposed Will Survives



the gentle winds comb the leaves of the trees

as it flows and blows through the valley...

treetops bend more than they should while

younger trees have a chance to kiss the tops

of the bushes that grow nearby...  the blue sky

boasts of another humid day and understanding

birds find shade wherever they can...  hiding

in the apex of gazebos defecating on whatever

is underneath them without the slightest care

in the world other than staying cool...  the

summer has its way in the valley as it has done

for a millennium and will continue to do as it

follows time towards an unknown conclusion;

travelers briefly dwell where others have lived

not knowing who they were nor caring, making

the same mistakes as those before them made,

thinking the valley could be tamed...  life proceeds

with or without us and while the animals are

aware of our presence, they treat us with the

same disdain that we treat them and have treated

them for centuries as we have imposed our

will on anything and everything in our way.
