Feel the Wind Sigh

Where's the smog And the pollution Only noise, the frogs No gangland executions Millions of stars in the sky Nights crisp, fresh and cool I can feel the wind sigh Nature -- not man -- rules Lack of excitement or buzz? -- Doesn't bother me I've fled Los Angeles For God's country

I love this one because of the focus on nature, one of my biggest inspirations. I love the line "nature -- not man rules." Indeed.

It's like your 'symphony of breezes' in your fine poem that I just read! Thanks, Tameko! :) gw

I love living in God's country in my little corner of South Coast, Mass., and I love the spirit of your inspiring poem, Gershon. I'll take Nature over city life all day, all the time. Wonderfully penned, my friend. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

oh yes, Dartmouth is beautiful as is Wesport - ever go to Horseneck Beach? Great waves from the Atlantic for body surfing, I spent all my summer days there (well, as many as possible) while growing up :)

Ah, yes! South Coast is nice, as is much of Mass. (I went to Dartmouth from 1968-1972, so I was in your state quite often). Thank you, as always, for your warm, inspirational comments, Susan. :) gw

I am in the throes of God's country myself, and love the fireflies and songbirds of the country, but you have to admit the lights in L.A. are gorgeous!

I'll take the stars over L.A's lights anytime. :) gw

I don't know; I hope there's some kind of limit to urban sprawl. Maybe I'm naïve...

I love the wind, the clouds and moments that caress the sky. Mankind will never remove the calm that holds the day. God is still in control. Nature will always be. :) Brandy

So true. All we have to do is look up to realize how insignificant we are... Thanks for visiting my site, Brandy. ~ Gershon

G'day Gershon … nature will always win the war for survival. Mankind better hurry up and acknowledge this - thank you Gershon - Lindsay

Absolutely right, Lindsay. The world will keep turning long after man is gone. ~ gw
