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?

 

Sages say the spirit may grow through curiosity

and that life is enriched by frequent ponderings

    I wonder, what MPS would be if not for the beautiful and thought provoking writings from your hands Fay. A gloriously penned write for this Sunday morning. 👍
