Ponderings

Fay Slimm.

 

 

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

    • Fay Slimm.

      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.

    • Doggerel Dave

      Ponderings, on the evidence of what you present here have certainly enriched your life, but also ours..An imagination energising piece, Fay

      • Fay Slimm.

        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.

      • SureshG

        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

        • Fay Slimm.

          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.

          • Fay Slimm.

            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.

          • Jerry Reynolds

            A fine write, Fay.
            Especially for one who's view is all is one thing happening.

          • Goldfinch60

            With words like these Fay your life will become so enriched.

            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
