Ponderings.
"Earth's vivacious multitudes have much to teach
and we are but one design of thinking creatures."
Who can imagine how stone feels
as it lies compressed into lumps
of mountainous matter,
does it want to become livelier
fragments again
I wonder ?
Who can realize moon sadness
at being outsted by cloud or sun
before giving full spate to
its own mystic glitter,
does it pale when days' forces
move it away
I wonder ?
Who can register the flighty stress
of one moth making frantic efforts
before dying to catch
a mate, does it perform willingly
by dashing through flame
in last-bid display
I wonder ?
Who can guess a great river's grief
on remembering when it gurgled
with streamish hill-height
before light changed to heavy,
does it cry at its debris
under water
I wonder?
They say spirit grows through curiosity
and that life is enriched by ponderings

Lovely poem Fay. I believe its all alive and everutjing has its own mind
Glad you enjoyed the message in Ponderings and really agree that we have much to learn about life in all forms - thanks so much for your visit and comment S.C.
Ponderings, on the evidence of what you present here have certainly enriched your life, but also ours..An imagination energising piece, Fay
Ah - how kind of you to say my little poem has enriched your reading today dear Dave - yes ponderings can indeed increase the imagination of every writer.
A different motif from you, much easier to absorb, and yes, I wonder, if others ponder, as we humans do?
Light hearted but very enjoyable
Thank you Suresh for your continued support of my efforts to dig a little bit deeper into ponderings of other kinds of life. My imagination often runs riot but am glad you liked the read.
I have pondered these things and more. All are seen from our sentient viewpoint but there is surely so much more going on. Communication is closed to us. The nearest we get is with our lovely companion the dog.
Lets be honest though, we barely communicate with each other. War and famine etc.
Your post encourages the mind to go where it may never have considered to trespass before. There fore encouraging one's mind to expand.... wholesome.
You are always so perceptive dear Dusk by reading between the lines in my deeper postings - - agreed that there is truly much more going on in other life-forms than we at this time can know - - making contact by giving attention will help I am sure -- and thank you too for ending your thoughtful review with dubbing the poem "wholesome" - -what more sup[port could a writer need.
A fine write, Fay.
Especially for one who's view is all is one thing happening.
With words like these Fay your life will become so enriched.
Andy
what a brilliantly philosophical interpretation
of the wisdom, imbedded
in each nuanced insight, we glean
of Nature's majestic brilliance, dear Fay..
thanks for sharing
