In praise of adaptation


Mother Nature as the ultimate recycler: 
Who can create a tree from seed, 
Then grow it tall, 
And when it falls into the sea 
Invert its roots and let them stand 
Upon a beach 
 In solitary splendor, as if to say 
Each phase of life 
Has its own purpose, which evolves. 
Accept, and rejoice in, the change.
