Uncynical 2008 Poem by Anita Atina

Well hello, what an interesting name!

Are you someone I've met before?

Glad you've chosen this year to be uncynical

Coz cynical is an emotion only humans know

We're 'intelligent' you see!



Nature only thinks in cycles and seasons

Moves in the rise and fall of tides

Befriends life and death

Celebrates procreation and progeny

Gloriously widening the circle of life

For nature doesn’t know how to be cynical



Nor does nature know, to feel sorry for itself

Nor does it know fear

It only has the knowledge, innate, intuitive

Of reaching out in growth, in hope

For immortal truth that is itself

And always true.


.... Thank you Frank.
