Nature's Thread
The beginning
 A single, bland thread
 Weaves its own
 Finds its own color
 Nature is born
 
 Blue threads smoothly swim
 Maroon threads get pounded
 Green threads rustle about
 Baby blue threads cover the scene
 White threads float about
 Yellow threads shine the weave
 All intertwined
 Baby blue into white
 Baby blue into yellow
 White into yellow
 Blue into maroon
 Blue into green
 Green into maroon
 Peaceful, mixed, invigorating
 Alive, threads that move
 Some that fly, some that walk
 Some that crawl, living
 
 Black thread,
 Finds itself in the weave.
 Smoke, blood, destruction
 Artificial
 Shadows towering
 Darkening the baby blue and white
 Crushing the maroon
 Cutting the green
 And graying the blue
 Nature's thread,
 Destroyed.
 
 A friend,
 Weaved into the darkness
 Peace, serenity, kindness
 Artificial yet not
 Turns the black thread
 Inside out
 Spreads itself far and wide
 
 The color?
 No color defines it,
 It becomes what it saves
 It becomes what the 
 Imagination holds,
 Saving the colors,
 And itself.
 
 The blue swims faster
 The maroon become magnificent
 The green dance joyfully
 The baby blue is clear
 The white fly in the air
 And the yellow shines brighter.
 
 Altogether,
 Hand in hand
 Working to save,
 The promise land.
