No reason

sorenbarrett

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.

    • sorenbarrett

      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.

        We are all animals encaged behind sulfuric bars that the dark poetry of our condition inspires...

        • sorenbarrett

          Thank you Lorenz. Indeed we are and it is hard to escape such a cage.

            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. 💯✨🤴

              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.

                • Tristan Robert Lange

                  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.

                    • Tristan Robert Lange

                      For sure, especially as off balance as it is anymore. You are most welcome, my friend!

                          • Tom Dylan

                            A fine piece, Soren. The topic and the feel of the poem reminded me of Wordworth's Daffodils. Nicely done.
