I have no need for cage or zoo
Pictures, videogames or television to view
With outside colors, birds that sing
Nature's beauty, seasons, coming of spring
Photos and memories discolor in time
But nature is a brew like fine wine
As I look around all I see
Is my contentment portrayed in natural majesty

Nature has the knack to grow back when battered. Overgrowth will resume after destruction by others. Thus, nature will reproduce its majesty for us to see.
Thank you Soman for reading this poem and for your comment. I am fortunate enough to live where I have nature all around me and have no need to go to a zoo of botanical garden to see it. I feel badly for life taken out of its natural habitat.
Yes, as we run about at a hundred miles an hour, nature patiently gets on with her work.
Sometimes we need to slow down to appreciate it.
Thank you Paul for your read and understanding comment it is appreciated
We are all animals encaged behind sulfuric bars that the dark poetry of our condition inspires...
Thank you Lorenz. Indeed we are and it is hard to escape such a cage.
Beautiful work.
Thank you Thomas I appreciate it
My dear Soren sleek and beautifully written 🥂. I have to say as I’ve read I did miss the word before “ view” with or without it it’s beautifully exceptionally written and beautifully worth the read. Overall i definitely enjoyed. 💯✨🤴
Thank you Keyara for your read and kind words they are most encouraging and appreciated
The poem emphasizes the intrinsic value and beauty of nature, suggesting that it provides a sense of fulfillment and contentment that artificial experiences (like media) cannot replicate. The speaker finds solace and joy in the natural world.
Very nicely stated and right on target. Thanks for the review and comment
You're very welcome, my friend
Soren, this piece is filled with quiet joy…rejecting the cages of distraction, raising nature’s fine wine instead. It’s about more than scenery…it’s about the patience and authenticity that make contentment possible. Beautiful work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you Tristan yes that is the essence of it alright. As simple as that what we call entertainment is merely distractions from what is real and what counts.
For sure, especially as off balance as it is anymore. You are most welcome, my friend!
So very true soren, Nature brings beauty and wonder to us all.
