HCM

Birdgirl

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.
