             NATURE TRAIL
          By ... Steve Lucky

Walking down the nature trail,
I sometimes stop and listen to the sounds around me.
Chirping birds, chattering insects, and the branches of the trees
Gently swaying in the wind
Contribute to the symphony of nature
Human beings will never be able to reproduce.
Looking at everything around me,
I wonder how long it will last.
Will nature trails still exist a thousand years from now?
Could nature trails be the only remnant
Of the world we once knew?
Will nature be able to reestablish itself
Either here or on another world
Such as the moon, Mars,
Or a satellite of Jupiter and Saturn?
Nature trails may be found on space stations
With the look and feel of those on Earth.
Continuing to walk and think, these questions remain with me
As I observe the sights and sounds
Of the nature trail.
