Controlled by ego, driven by want,
dogged by desire, blinded by guile,
fail to see most of life’s attractions,
Unseen natures, beauty, charm, style,
fluffy clouds, setting sun, moon, and stars.
Unfelt is mans inhumanity, or selfishness,
like cry of a hungry child, a troubled land.
Sightless from avarice, and self reward,
ignoring most of Natures vast appeal.
Have no time to gaze, no time to stare,
no time to feel, magic of a silent prayer.
Blind; not accepting nature’s caring way,

All aspects of nature speak eloquently of the Creator's handiwork. But some are blind to the beauty that is so freely offered to them. Your message is beautiful, timely, and much appreciated by this reader. Always your friend, Sandra
a true write from the heart...men have become so full of themselves their tiny selves the big side of us we ignore...an inspiring write
yes our life has become so artificial, we have forgot to take pleasure in natural things.......Good Write........
I am reminded of Wordsworth's lament: Getting and spending we lay wasre our powers, Little we see in Nature that is ours, We have given our heart away a sordid boon. CP
