I Envy

spilleronsheet

I envy

Envy the dandelions

Who are free to travel

I envy

Envy the birds

Who can fly as far as they wish to be

I envy

The flowers

Who can bloom as they want

I envy

Envy the kids

Who can play freely in the playground

I envy

Envy the pilots

Who soar up without wings

Travelling higher in the skies

I envy

Envy the radio jockey

Who can speak clearly of their mind

I envy

Envy the creepers

Who can move anyway

I envy

Envy the weeds

Who can grow anywhere

Without caring about

I envy

Envy the waves

Who doesn’t care about retreating

Or a fall

I envy

Envy the oceans

Who meet different continents

Chat with enormous fishes

I envy

Envy the butterflies

Who can swoon upon the flowers in the garden

Carefree

Praising the beauty

 

So much to be envious around

I wonder

When did nature turn so attractive

Why was I lost in chaotic world

Since when I am running in mad race

That I forgot the beauty lay beside

  • L. B. Mek

    the truly absurd fact, is when you eventually get to realise
    those very same 'aspects' of existence, you envy
    are looking back at you
    envying, your sentient capacity
    to communicate: your envy...
    'before we search for the bandages
    to cover our inadequacies,
    we must realise, our capacity to self correct
    is that essential asset, we need to appreciate: Most!'
    (thanks for sharing,
    an interesting subject)

      In a mess of running
      In this chaos
      I wish I can choose stillness
      A moment of peace
      Better than city noises
      A dim starlit sky
      Than citylights
      A peaceful beach
      Than a posh market side
      Thank you so much dear poet
      Comments are always awaited to add to my perceptions

    • Caring dove

      Lovely writing ! Really like this poem 🙂 nature is beautiful

      • spilleronsheet

        It sure is dear yellowrose 😊 i can’t have enough of this beautiful nature…I really wish to see all wonders that the world beholds…

      • Paul Bell

        I think they say you need nature to stay sane. Maybe it's because nature stays at the same pace, whereas we run around like headless chickens.

        • spilleronsheet

          So true Paul…nature is permanent though a change is impermanent…but we never look at the beauty it carries

          • Paul Bell

            I think we never really notice till the day nature introduces herself.

            • spilleronsheet

              Wait for nature to play
              It may play fair and square
              And then you shall say
              As you sow, so shall you reap
              Thus realise it’s beauty sooner

            • Goldfinch60

              That beauty is all around us but we sometime do not have time in our lives to realise it is there.

                So true Andy…maybe a moment of stillness is all that we require…
