She

She shakes, she bakes,

she freezes, she thaws,

hestitant at times,

she hems and haws.

She buds and blossoms,

She blows, grows,

blazes and floods.

She rises and falls.

Loud and clear,

both seen and unseen,

and yet without malace

of forethought,

she gives and she takes.

Be mindful and aware,

my friends,

Mother Earth gives her all

and makes no mistakes.
