If We See
We can…
notice nature suffers,
how pretty flowers wilt
in heat of midday sun,
how plants are broken
by the wind, how some
die from frosty cold.
But…
still see natures beauty
blooms, a cascade of
colour, lights our much
divided fractured world.
Which…
has no concern, so
occupied by conflict, war,
discrimination, worry and
its greed for many things.
Yet…
our world suffers all of
mans quarrels and disorder,
so it can be, a poets dream,
a bards delight, a writers relish
and an artists paradise.

BOB , as Mr Sharma says , I feel that once you sit in your lovely garden you will forget the 'disharmony in man's stance ', and see only the harmony in Nature ! -Raj

Where are the forests and ferns/ Your deep insight can discern/In Nature you see harmony dance/ Why disharmony in man's stance?

A thoughtful write and compelling read Bob where nature is abused, yet hope comes through nevertheless. The last stanza is uplifting as creativity can make all the difference in the world.

A thoughtfully inked verse contrasting Nature's harmony with human beings' discord. The last stanza offers a ray of light despite all the negativity that we see around us. Perhaps, poets, bards, writers and artists can induce positive changes in this world?

so true dear bob... we can hope... just a single rain can clean any river... but we taint her again!

Nature is always in blissful beauty. In whichever manner we choose to perceive her, she always exudes that peculiar seductive look. Hope all is well with you. God bless.
