WHAT DO THEY THINK OF US

One thing I’ve noticed when I walk among the trees…is how I’m never bored…. because every new tree that I see is a little different than the trees I’ve seen before. When I walk among the flowers…even those who share a name…. I find no two sunflowers, no two daisies…no two roses are the same. This holds true with the birds who fly above me…singing their morning songs… and with the rabbits who when they notice me… are happy to hop along. From the dogs and cats we keep as pets…who become members of our family to all the creatures in the oceans…who swim the seven seas….. When I look at all of nature’s creations… I wonder what is the message they’re trying to send… Could it be how they’re all different…yet how beautifully they blend. The more I walk in nature…the more of her wonders I explore… It’s obvious nature knows nothing of politics, of religion, of prejudice…or war. So when all of nature gets together…and it’s us humans they discuss… I wonder what the trees, the flowers and all the animals might be saying about us. As they watch us vilify our differences…fight wars destroy their sky and seas and land… are they praying…hoping…someday we humans might come to understand…. that our insecurities…our fears and our prejudices is the place from where all our problems stem… and are they praying, hoping for the day we humans… will be as half as accepting half as generous and half as intelligent as them…

Your poem is very moving Jim, I guess it does disturb the birds and animals too, when they see what some humans get up to. A marvellous write… Beryl
