Poem "The Changing World"

On and on through the sable veil of space; the world spins in elegant grace.
For time immemorial the earth, in peace and grace, has completed the cycle of day and night

But through some folly or natures inevitable evolution; earth is changing before man's eye.
Familiar things are passing away; as does day into night, bringing a fear of the unknown.

Quixotic man resists the very senses he possesses, and fails to see the need for humility.
The world will go on in timeless flight but will temporal and transitory humanity.

Man!  Respect the world; accept the challenge of change and realize that you are but a
small part of universal creation.

As wind and water erode the mountain and stars are born and die; the powers of nature are unyielding  not mans to manipulate or engineer.  

All things have a season; destiny is not ours to control.  Mankind must learn to live in the world nature is constantly redesigning or the world will transition and move on without them.
