    Indeed a short and sweet portrayal of the need to repair the damage in our lives and the human limitations we endure.

    • sorenbarrett

      Thank you David for your read and interpretation of this piece. Pain in this life from not understanding our limits.

    • Soman Ragavan

      Indeed, nature creates wonders of a kind that humans cannot match. We can only admire them.

          Nature has abilities we will never have to survive and adapt over time and repair the damage we cause to it, enjoyed the read

            Thank you so much Tobani for the review and understanding comment it is appreciated. Yes our arrogance lets us believe we can fix nature's global warming, extinctions etc. yet it is only nature in its balance that can do this.

                  Good write SB. I said to KP 'If it ain't broke; don't fix it'. She replied 'The ball and chain that I locked on your ankle ain't broke, so I won't fix it, I will leave it on you!' lol.

                  • sorenbarrett

                    Don't worry Orchi in another few hundred years it will rust off. Thanks so much for the read and comment it's appreciated

                    • orchidee

                      LOL.

                    • Doggerel Dave

                      Nothing there I cannot understand and nothing there I cannot but agree with.
                      Well said Soren.
                      Preconditions would include the removal of much of the human species.....

                      • sorenbarrett

                        Thank you Dave appreciate the review. Nothing in it that I can not understand and nothing there I cannot but agree with. The preconditions I'm talking about. Your solution far better than the poem.

                        • Doggerel Dave

                          Away with yer. Sometimes keeping up with all that goes on in this place can be wearying....

                        • Goldfinch60

                            So true. When our island was devastated by hurricane Maria, time and nature were the factors that brought healing. Thank you for sharing your poem.

                                Your art of writing is really praiseworthy.
