Animal Nature
The spirit of a hollow moon slides sideways under cover
through a crack in heavy clouds that spread apart to hover.
An owl soars by on silent wings to seek his midnight feast,
the power of moonlit talons unleashed on tiny beast.
Another sacred life is sacrificed for hunger’s sake.
It’s all in nature’s plan, and yet I feel the mouse’s ache.

I love this, Judy –and in particular the concept of feeling the mouse’s ache!

Thanks, Janet. Even though we profit from nature, it’s hard to see the cruelty by which we sometimes do.
