Poem

When our world seems so chaotic…filled with man’s inhumanity to man
We search for peace and happiness…anywhere we can

On my walk this morning as I was wondering what fortunes today would bring
somewhere in the darkness a bird began to sing

I wasn’t in a hurry so I stopped to listen for a while
and when I looked up at the crescent moon…I swear I saw her smile.

As I walked a little farther another bird sang out to me
This one was accompanied by a cricket harmony.

Still farther on my walk what was I to meet
but a moth, I think a promethean, standing in the street.

If I told you I was a lepidopterist certainly I’d be lying
But it looked to my non-scientific eyes like this little moth was dying.

“This is no place for you to be little moth.” I said, “No place for you to linger.”
So I put my hand down and this little moth climbed upon my finger.

I gently set her on a flower where she had a clear view of the sky
“This is a beautiful place to live I whispered…and not a bad place to die”.

As I continued on I talked to a rabbit…I saw three squirrel acrobats?
And even though I said hello….I was ignored by two tom cats.

The cats just stared as I walked by…their feelings they never telegraphed
and when I looked up at the crescent moon again…this time…I swear she laughed.

Who knew in a world that seems so chaotic….
all I need to is to step out my front door
And…
Listen to the birds
Say goodbye to a moth
watch some animals
be ignored by two cats 
and laughed at by the moon
to find the peace I was looking for.
