Winter Whispers
Can any human
wunderkind
rival the sculptures
of water and wind?
Can any voices
charm or please
like the singing sands
that vibrate, tease
on the Island of Eigg
in the Hebrides?
Can any artist's
painting vie
with the Maelstrom's
giant, piercing eye?
Gorges, cascades,
canyons, hills:
Scan, copy,
probe them as we will -
earth's wonders always
are wonders still
that Nature revises
endlessly,
never content
to let them be.
