A Message To Us. Poem by Fay Slimm

A Message To Us.

Rating: 5.0


Not one day goes by
Without bird-song from sky
Reminding us why
They believe life to be good.

Not one cloudless night
Neglects awesome sight
Of starburst in flight
Appealing to be understood.

Not one blade of green
Allows light to be seen
Without using the means
From the sun to make itself food.

Not one flowery bloom
Witholds it's perfume
As each day turns to noon.
Scenting the world if it could!

Not one wild-living soul
Acts without instinct's goal
To make it's life whole.
Not governed by destructive mood..

Earth's message is near
To those willing to hear.
By making it clear
We too must live life as we should.

The visible world that sings its harmonious song in a silent mood looks for ears that can grasp the soul of its pantomime. The birds, carrying a seal on their wings show them to us, but where they’ll find a watchful beholder! Only our poet, speaking the language that they speak, understands its echoing music.

'Not one wild-living soul Acts without instinct's goal To make it's life whole. Not governed by destructive mood'...these four lines serve the key lines of the poem. Only a man closer to heart can write such beautiful verses...10

This flowing prose and its reflection echo the way I see the world myself. Your words star at the nature lovers’ singing hearts… it affirms your sensitivity as a poet to your surroundings. Another one of your great poems Fay!
