Nature’s Deceit <br /> <br />The Drosera hides from its prey, two things <br />Both of which are true <br />Her radiance invites and destroys <br />Its perfect petals <br />A hidden masterpiece <br />Lures its prey with scent and sweet <br />That hints of the miraculous <br />In colors only God can make <br /> <br />Closing now, the green eye of spring <br />Hiding her decay under a frozen mantle <br />Mother Nature comes with hands <br />Of pale and perfect, forming the future <br />Of Dionaea and Drosera alike <br /> <br />It is not lying to seem one thing <br />Yet be another, we learn from the deceit of nature <br />We hide and wait and watch and learn from friends <br />As false as death<br /><br />Macklin MacKenzie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nature-s-deceit/
