To Everything A Season

 

- from Book of Ecclesiastes

Nature is fully
provisioned, given
cycles of life, death,
growth and change.

The course of the sun
balances the courses
of wheeling planets,
mass attracting mass.

Plants bloom and grow,
animals chase and feed,
dust to dust they live and die,
seeing but not understanding.

Human choices remain
the only discretionary evil,
the only random acts in nature,
the only decisions truly free.

Every mental or physical action
has a reciprocal divine reaction,
all known and anticipated
by God with His grace.
