nature does not
own anything
everything is
ephemeral
birth
growth
death
decay
we are born
then we die
but we do not
accept nature
in our lives
we crave
permanence
we fight
even kill for
ownership
unable to
let go
unwilling to
admit the
transience
of everything
we should
become one
with nature
embrace
the nothing
to gain
everything

I think you clearly identify how mankind has attempted to detach itself from the natural laws of existence. Hence we are destroying the planet.
So profound. This must go into my favourites.
d a, thanks so much, I am honored to be in your faves!
So true, being one with nature is wondrous.

thanks Andy, it is not only wondrous, it is also quite difficult.
Good write Fred. I see you're embracing that tree!
orchie, you got it! I am doing all I can to be 'one with nature'!!!!

agree with your sentiments in these words completely: acceptance is key,
mind you that doesn't mean we simply surrender though...
thanks for sharing an insightful perspective of existence - in general, but more importantly - a realisable mindset to guide our lives and what meaning we can glean from our experiences, ephemeral - indeed...
Thanks so much L.B., your comment made my day. It does get lonely up on that palmtree.
Wholly agree with every line of your perceptive write Fred and like D.A. this one must go into my faves.
Fay, thank you for your comment and adding my scribble to your faves. That is an honor, coming from a wordsmith like you!
Could not agree more. Nice work!
Thanks so much for your comment, John!
