Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

" I WONDER " FREE PICTURE.

I Wonder Vii

I wonder,
If ever the fruit thanks the tree
For helping it grow and  becoming
ripe.

I wonder.
If the tree ever thanks its roots 
For keeping it standing and for the nourishment
They provide.


I wonder,
If ever the roots thank the ground
For supplying a firm base to plant themselves
In search of food.

I wonder,
If ever the ground thanks the microorganisms and minerals,
For enriching its soil to become 
Alive.

If no-one 
Never express gratitude to each other 
Then
A great injustice is committed,


UNLESS... 

All of the above is one,
And as such, all work in unison for a single purpose:
To serve the divine will maintain life!

Winged Warrior September 29, 2018 at 10:36 AM "We are all reflections~scattered thru broken mirrors..." ~^WW^...now if we had some super crazy glue, we could put ourselves back together again lol...loved your verse Demetrios...we are more than brothers & sisters than what we think...^WW^ Demetrios Trifiatis September 29, 2018 at 10:42 AM True what you say dear friend, WW. What I am driving at here is that although nature is working in perfect harmony, Man, who receives its fruits, doesn't appreciate it! Furthermore he does what he can to disrupt nature's harmony so he ends up destroying what God has built! Thank you so very much!

CayCay Godwin September 29, 2018 at 8:46 AM I love how you delivered this, thought provoking, really - and I love how you ended it because I concur with your final thought. Nature never loses faith and that, I think, is its thank you. I truly enjoyed reading this. Poetry hugs ... CayCay Demetrios Trifiatis September 29, 2018 at 10:12 AM So good to see you again dearest, CayCay! Thank you very much for your precious comment!

Arturo Michael September 29, 2018 at 8:10 AM It's a constant thanking going on daily...you can see it in the smiles of nature...All the best D Demetrios Trifiatis September 29, 2018 at 10:10 AM The hidden truth my friend, Arthur, is much more precious than the apparent! A second read will reveal it! Man, unfortunately is not appreciative of this oneness of nature and what nature offers to him and instead of expressing his gratitude he becomes a blasphemer of natural order! All the best!

Besma Riabi Dziri September 29, 2018 at 5:13 AM "I wonder If ever an avid reader thanks a highly talented poet, a philosopher, a bearer of Love Light and Beauty for the pearls of wisdom, for the unconditional Love and generosity, for the depth of Faith in serving Humanity.."! I'm deeply grateful to you dear Demetrios for being a giver and a server on path of life and poetry.. Definitely a FAV. A fabulous work of art, mind and heart. My warmest regards. Stay blessed always. Demetrios Trifiatis September 29, 2018 at 5:21 AM Your appreciation and your understanding gives wings to my soul so as to soar higher, if possible, so as to see truths yet to be revealed for the good of Man! Happy i am when even one person expresses such gratitude to me at the moment this gratitude is to be directed to the source of inspiration from which you and I and all our friends try to quench their thirst for truth! Stay blessed dearest friend, Besma! My deepest gratitude for your precious visit and comment!
