Nature's Game

The sand beneath my feet crumbles,
I stumble,
and fall.

The wind blows at my body ragingly,
I'm thrown,
and fall.

The sea crashes against me; suffocating,
I choke,
and fall.

The fire licks at the logs; ever reaching closer to me,
I burn,
and fall.

The snow beats at me; stinging my eyes,
I freeze and fall.

To my knees,
To my death.

The forces of life; so symbolic in the hand we are dealt and forced to play. Until somebody wins or loses, Nature's Game
