" THE FLOWER AND THE BEE " MY PHOTO, ©

Image may contain: plant, flower, nature and outdoor

Look as far and as wide as you can, my friend, Turn your eyes towards the sky and try to pierce infinity- This vast unknown- Ponder about its existence Let not a single thing unexamined Any stunning flower untouched Any majestic bird unobserved Any magnificent fish unnoticed And tell me Isn't life a miracle? An unbelievable story? An inconceivable design? Yet A mesmerizing reality? Look how heaven and earth are put together: A harmonious whole operating with such precision and With a single purpose in mind- LIFE! Tell me, could this great design be the outcome of chance? Of a hazardous consequence? Or The work of blind forces? Look closer my friend, once again, Pay attention to the details of this incredible miracle of life Look how things are so wisely operating Observe the relationship between a flower and a bee How they are interrelated, Interconnected and Interdependent Marvel how, although they both are so transient, They maintain eternity Note the way they obey the cosmic laws Thus Enacting the choreography of life and death that divinity has conceived And by doing so they become divine themselves and their art holy Let us, my friend, Be inspired by them and let us create our own Harmonious coexistence Our own choreography, inspired by God, For To incarnate His will in reality So as to glorify His creation And us to live in peace as He meant us to live! © Demetrios Trifiatis 06 August 2019 * This is my 2400th poem. Thank all those who have commented on my poems since 2012! I also thank PoetrySoup because they have helped my poems become known thus they were published in books and anthologies. Soon, I think to stop posting. God bless you all my friends.

I can feel and relate to your poem daily as a nature lover and those who have no respect for nature and creation anger me.

Your poem eloquently expresses my shared perspective regarding God’s creation. The more I look at science and nature the greater my belief in God.

My dearest friend, Richard., do you know that when I run for the European Parliament members of the Soup threatened to write to the European Commission accusing me of being racist and a person of no morals! Who me , that all my writing is a living proof of the contrary. Unfortunately there are some who would be happy to see me go. I do not do it for them , I just see that I will leave the world worse than I found it and this saddens me. I keep fighting for love an justice, I need time to relax. Soon will be 75, God, willing. Thank you though. I will keep your thought in mind. Is people like you who make me write!

Thank you dearest Anne-Lise for your support all those years. I think you are the only one who never stopped visiting and commenting and for that I am grateful. God bless you my friend for your kindness and for your friendship! Thank you!!

I stand in awe of nature (God's creation) daily...my latest fixation is the hummingbirds that gather upon my porch to drink of the nectar in my feeder! Gorgeous poem :)

Thank you for your gracious words dearest, Heidi and for your friendship! Yes, after seven years of continuous writing I am seriously thinking to stop posting by the end of the month. I always tried to pass positive messages but some people didn't liked it and showed their dislike in different ways. God bless you my dear!

My first read of the day and what a beautiful piece of writing it is too Demetrios. Today many are blinded by the trapping's of technology and fail to observe the beauty of creation not looking beyond their front door. Everything about creation facinates me and I appreciate its beauty. Congratulations on reaching your 2400 verse always sharing with us your wisdom and not forgetting those beautiful flowers that accompany your work. Tom

It is an honor to be friends with you dear, Tom. I appreciate you and what you stand for. You are of the few people I know here that writes for the joy of writing and that you are friendly with all. Yes, after seven years that have been writing one poem every day, I am thinking by the end of the month to stop posting due to an unseen war that goes on without end. Thank you for your kind words of appreciation. God bless your kindness my friend!
