Nature’s economy of design
like language- drawing a fine line
between one thing and another.
A tree-trunk –
or a nerve stem bending?
Snapping twig –
or tendrils mending?
A rising sun-
or beauty unending?
firing us – inspiring us
so that the hairs on the back of our world
stand up!

Hi ! Just picked up your comment . Sorry I'm so late replying - I don't visit Allpoetry too often , spending most of my time at Sharepoetry . Hope you saw the picture the poem was about ( it was a competition entry) Its on my site at sharepoetry with the poem and all the inspiration is right there in the photograph. Hope your friend is ok and took his penname from the same place I did . Glad you liked the poem ( I like this one myself ) and thanks for reading it and commenting . W.

Excellent the way you made this poem work. Nature and poetry, well aligned, well compared.
What can better inspire us than the beauty of nature?
You have the same penname of a good friend. I miss his poetry... -
