We can…
notice nature suffers,
how pretty flowers wilt
in heat of midday sun,
how plants are broken
by the wind, how some
die from frosty cold.
But…
still see natures beauty
blooms, a cascade of
colour, lights our much
divided fractured world.
Which…
has no concern, so
occupied by conflict, war,
discrimination, worry and
its greed for many things.
Yet…
our world suffers all of
mans quarrels and disorder,
so it can be, a poets dream,
a bards delight, a writers relish
and an artists paradise.

A wonderful write this Bob, Nature rises like the phoenix to bloom even more prolific and ever beautiful, time after time....There are those who learn from this, as you have shown us and we, in turn, relish your poems and dream - thank you
If only people enjoy both the sight and the foresight! An interesting concern with human problems. Good write!
Bob, you always write with such flair and concern for humanity and Mother Nature. I love the last stanza 'poets dream, a bard's delight, a writer's relish and an artist's paradise'. Top marks from me too! love Karin
Nicely worded. Beautiful. The thought and presentation is very clear. Good work! DC
beautiful Bob....it reminded me of a poem I wrote called 'Ordinary Beauty' with some very similar lines...
Bob, I love the way you see the good in everything, it shows a caring nature, a lovely poem, a pleasure to read, 10 Lynda xxx
This is amazingly profound and sweet. Man and Nature in duality bask, Resurging unity is the poet's task. CP
It is easy to become cynical, especially if one views the world through a television screen (nature documents notwithstanding) , but when life is lived in the raw, in the garden and in the full light of human awareness, it remains a pretty awesome place to be - as you have demonstrated so palpably in this fine, inspiration poem. Thanks for showing us. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
