I would like to join the melodious breath
Of the wind's whistle all around
In this corner of the mountain,
if I could only forget
the world I come from!
But how can I forget
That birds of death circling
Over our heads?
How it can be forgotten
We are living surrounded
by volcanoes of war,
as a powder magazine
at the mercy of the power?
And when the sky embraces the retreating sun,
a ring shining charming and desperate
leads me to wonder
if humanity has not already taken
a path of no return.

And so many may wonder. Time will tell and we will see. A well written poem of humanity's poor decisions and downfall maybe. Well done
Thanks very much for your empathetic comment!
My pleasure
Time will tell if this write of humanity's ongoing decision's have us pass the breaking point, enjoyed the read
Of course, I hope my pessimism is exaggerated. However, when I wrote these verses, many years ago, I saw the world on the brink of the abyss. Today, I would perhaps express the anguish I felt then in a more balanced way, and yet I can't be overly optimistic. Thanks for your comment PL.
You are very welcome
Well written and expressed
Thanks very much indeed for commenting so positively my poem Tony!
You're welcome
It's pretty comforting to know that !
Thank you for your comment, Lorenz. However, when I composed this poem, I felt very discouraged; and even today, with all the wars that have been waged recently, my spirits have not improved. It's possible that the meaning of your comment was ironic; but nevertheless, I thank you again for your comment, and I apologize if, by any chance, I have caused you any discomfort with my verses. In my daily life, I try to live joyfully, even if, in the background, a sense of insecurity lingers in my soul due to the excessive place that man continues to give to weapons. I still trust in poetry, so that it can save this world that I perceive as sick with violence and the desire of prevailing over each other.
I understand ! I am always a bit provocative !
It’s trying to
And I hope it doesn't work (if we're thinking rhe same thing). Thanks for your comment anyway Keeter.
