Fight nature?

I wrestled with the wind
After awhile 
I knew I had lost.

The ocean was of no help at all
It too only pushed me around.
Nothing left in the palm of my hand
Another fight lost

I yelled at the clouds
But they only laughed and ran away
I screamed at the sun
It fried me!

I tried to move a mountain
It wouldn't fight back
I kicked at the rocks
They stumbled away
They too didn't want to stay.

As night wrapped around me and stole my fight
I gave into its selfish plight.
"Tomorrow will be better," it said
You can't be angry any more
You no longer even know
What you are fighting for.

I allowed the breeze to take my revenge
The stars then danced for me
"Everything isn't what it seems"
I let these words settle in
As I laid my head against the stone

The wind came back to cool me
The oceans mid-night roar, soothed me
They were right
There are reasons to stay and fight
And there are reasons to let go

Which ever is decided
All I need to know
Be brave, stand tall, stay true
Nature will run its course
And Nature always wins.

Life

A fish who longs to be in water A bird who can not wait to fly A snake who wishes to recoil  A mole searching for better ground Sky so lifted to give space Moon afraid to show his shape Hides behind a blanket of night Stars blink to share their light Oceans anger crashes down Beaches lying with the sand Rocks climb to stand tall Wind watches them all fall  Mountain tall enough to roar Let loose his inner being Earth was burned to begin again. Gave life back to the living.

I'm not just a Mark

 I'm not just a Mark. I'm a Book Mark. Have you heard of them?  They are all the rage. They take you so many amazing places. They are highly revered, some not so much, but that's the beauty of the Book. There's something new in each one. From start to finish, and in between an adventure to go on,  a mystery to solve,  a lost love to cry over. Then this is where I come in... I Mark the spot.  Whenever you need to, grab a cup of coffee, a tissue, use the Bathroom...there I am. To keep your adventures right where you left them.
