Timothy Mcguire Poet Free verse

Who Are We Anyway

My reflection in the moonlit pond
The owls are watching
The bullfrogs, the loons
The trees, the mountains, the stars
I hear what they say
How insignificant we are

Gershon Wolf April 22, 2019 at 4:12 PM I just had to come and mark this a FAVE, as I want to return to it again and again, to keep myself grounded. Thank you for this profoundly moving and meaningful poem, Tim. Best wishes, Gershon Timothy Mcguire April 22, 2019 at 11:26 PM Thank you again Gershon

Gershon Wolf April 18, 2019 at 12:45 PM A nice touch on this one, Tim... The vastness of Nature surely juxtaposes with our puny insignificance. I am reminded of it whenever I go deep into a forest or to the shores of a large body of water... ~ gw Timothy Mcguire April 18, 2019 at 6:48 PM My point exactly Gershon thank you.
