I have lived thousands of years
I've seen the destruction of earth
And the recreation of it
I have watched humanity while it was sleeping
I have watched it tear itself apart in the name of religion
I have seen the world parts of humanity
I have witnessed the small beautiful moments
While enraptured in the darkness they have created
I watched the small planet dance through the cosmos
Spinning endlessly on the axis
While humanity forgets it existence underneath their feet
I can only watch while destiny is shaped
There is something to be said about the noise of any metropolis
Untouched and unspoiled
While a small doe quietly cruches through the blanketed snow
The purity and complexity in something that seems so simple
Yet is so complicated
I have hoped for centuries
Humanity can come to understand such complexities
Then evolution can be achieved
Then and only then
Can they understand Her Celestial Magnificence

My comments on the poem "HCM” by Birdgirl
“I have watched it [humanity] tear itself apart in the name of religion” :
It is indeed strange that while religion preaches friendship and love, people fight over it.
“While a small doe quietly cruches through the blanketed snow” :
This is a beautiful, touching and impressive image that typically arises in a poet’s mind : the doe represents innocence, just as the fresh, while snow. The doe moving about in the new snow gives a view of all-round innocence. There is both “purity” and “complexity” (your words in the poem) in the image. Soman Ragavan. 27 January, 2024.
