POETRY PICNIC - WEEK 12

The Gosseberry Garden has prompted us to write about Feathers, Fidelity, Figment and Fables.

Here's my imagination...



JUST IMAGINE….

When the silvery-grey mist
Touches the Earth….
Will She shudder?
Feel the cold , have goose bumps?
Yearn for the warmth?
A hug from her lover?

The long, winding roads
Leading everywhere, nowhere
Yet somewhere…like a river
Having tributaries, do they
Know where they lead to?
Do they know one trail lead
To many others?

Fall brings in a riot of colours
Trees shed their leaves
Do they feel bare? Cold?
Naked? Or Exposed?
Do they feel like covering up,
Till they bloom again?

Does a caterpillar know,
That it will become a butterfly?
Does an egg know,
That it has a life within its shell?
Does the Earth weep or cry out
In pain every time when
Man keeps destroying Her at will?

    Oh, Janu, I am so deeply moved by your words . . .
    In the way a caterpillar can know, it does; in the way the egg can shelter the promise of life, it does.

    For God has given His blessing and meaning to all creation. Each creature, large and small, has a part to play. One that will never be forgotten by Him.

    Thank you for sharing this exquisite poem!

    Blessings, my dear!

    Hello.
    Earth was created by the Almighty for us all to inhabit. We should treat it with the utmost respect since it is a gift from God.

    Lovely expressions Janu.
