None Can Ever Survive On Its Own and Be

Shall I my very ego embrace
And only me see on Earth face!
*****
Could I my heart keep safe and sound
And all the fears of the mind unbound?
Would I cling to a balmy ivory tower
And just feed on the honey of one flower?
Could I detach my Self from any bond
And to dilemmas be able not to respond?
Would my soul blossom into creative art
As oblivious the mind and confined the heart?
*****
Shall I my very ego embrace
And only me see on Earth face!
*****
How would a flower a bee suffice
To spark the music of a bird of paradise
How would a rose leak nectar in delight
If it couldn’t withstand a harsh wind bite
How would I in the shades of a bright sun bloom
If I couldn’t bond with beauty and its perfume
Would my quill have enough ink to spill
Have I to leave my cocoon and my veins refill?
*****
Shall I my very ego embrace
And only me see on Earth face!
*****

Much to learn from the world of a bee
None can ever survive on its own and be
The Rose! to a butterfly a source of energy
Admired for its fragrance and beauty
Art! The softest spot in my heart
Huge what it can to me impart
Embrace the now and let your soul rhyme
Translate your rapture in words so sublime
Let’s live “wild and wise”, learn and discover
Those are true words and feelings of a Nature Lover.

As human beings we are never islands. We live in harmony with Nature and our fellow beings. One who focuses only on himself with his narcissistic attachment to himself will become so egoistic. One whose heart is filled with love of man, love of the creator and love of the wonderful world around lives a fulfilling life. In you all these qualities are blended so well making you so desirable. Each poem of yours unveils a little more of your worth. Blessed to enjoy your friendship, Besma!

Reason leads to emotion and arrive at a logical conclusion. Man was not born to be alone. A deep poem that makes the reader think hard. For there are egoists around. It's their doom. How well you conclude your beautiful poem. Worth waiting for.
