humble before nature
comment from Eileen gives author hope
given a choice
let’s always to defer to nature
acknowledging our humble place
as we strive to learn
rather than conquer
decision over returning
from ‘daylight saving’
would suit our position
in the universe better
with noon being when the sun
is highest over head
until we learn the true advantages
and disasters of skewing an hour
either way
nature has its own consequences
which we often learn to our sorrow
fool time
clock v earth rhythm
darker now, we turn on lights
seek entertainment while our bodies cry for rest
awaken to annoying, fabricated noises before refreshed renewal completed
live by the rule of the clock rather than the rhythm of earth
and now contemplate changing to daylight savings all year
with noon when the sun is not high overhead
