Gazing into the Unknown
Eyes fixed lazily
at the far off horizon
thinking of unknown.
What future holds for
Is indeed a mystery.
So let's take a guess.

Inventions
Man, is surrounded by inventions,
Inventions that speak of his intelligence,
Inventions that speak of misuse,
Inventions, both constructive and destructive.

branches in winter.
Nature rejoices
