solace of Nature


amidst the wonder of a tree and flower
a river flowing free at the feet of
a mountain that shades a valley
an eagle soars crown tilted eyeing down
at a daily sustenance flailing about
in the mouth of a bear wading in
a stream and a fawn and doe nibble
on petals splayed throughout the meadow,
lives a heart in pain and anguish as tears
flow because of the anger and hate
displayed by human beings, so, i wait   
for it all to subside if only for a moment   
thus letting the beauty, the solace of Nature’s breath,
be its substitute

  1. Oh this is so sad... we need to listen to the mother nature... she can tell us a lot of what's needed.

    Since the beginnings of time human conflicts had been tested time and again. Mankind is forever subject to the rigors of brute strength against the weaklings!

  4. No kidding. I like how this ramps up and runs forward as you describe the pain caused by humans.
