Why do people not see?
They are there in the glory of nature,
But all they do is look down.
The world is around them,
Above them,
But they cannot see.
Why do people refuse to hear?
They are there in natures symphony,
With earphones and their ‘phones.
Music is around them,
Above them,
But they refuse to hear.
I see the world of nature.
I hear its wonderful symphony.
I know that wonder,
That wonder of what they are missing.

A fine write and pic Gold. Aww, why they not want to hear me singing?! lol.
Thanks Orchi. Your singing is fine, like Scottish bagpipes - the further away the better.
Never insult the ladies from Hades! Bagpipes forever! Scots wha hae!
Why indeed? Most are blind - as an artist my eyes are everywhere except staring at the ground - even atmosphere is there to be observed but so many miss it all = a lovely work Andy.
Thank you Michael, all we need to do is look and see.
Well when you are raised in front of a television and given gameboy/x-box/playstation to amuse you what need is there to know your larch from your elm, your thrush from your jay, your butterfly from your moth. Let alone notice them ..... no - knock it all down and build a health club, a cinema complex, etc.
When i went to school most of the boys knew all the common birds, what their eggs looked like, which fish were in the river, could identify the trees by name.
Its a joy to step away from our humdrum urban lifes and soak up mother natures gifts in a woodland or wilderness. Hug a tree and relax, for it really is quite relaxing and refreshing.
Thought provoking writing again Mr G.

The beauty outside you is as beauty within you. Excellent write Andy.
Thank you AP, MOST KIND.
Goldie, you are so right. Too many people go through life wearing blinkers (blinders) just like the horses. All they see is straight ahead, missing everything else!
So very true Fred, if only they look up there are wonders to behold.
Wonderful write! I love the outdoors, when it's not frozen! I do think people should be more in tune to nature also.
Thank you Christina, communing with nature is so glorious.
