The Unintended Conspiracy of Design

I’ve have long been
fascinated
by the order of things
communicated
by nature’s own design,
by man’s own design,
by how nature and man
can unexpectedly and
independently conspire
to create a synthesis
of form, of combination,
of suggestion, of philosophy,
of vista, of horizon,
while simultaneously
maintaining boundaries,
fencing prerogatives,
staking territories,
separating light from darkness,
warmth from coldness,
nearness from distance,
natural from created,
with the blue emptiness
of sky exercising
sovereignty.
