Wakeup Call

found myself in the woods alone
wasn't afraid
the woods were my friend
until . . .
I sensed indignant unfriendliness
since I'd been in the woods
the woods had learned to hate
men who bother and seethe
boisterous men
there were wrathful sentiment within the trees
and the rage of beasts and things that fly
directed at men
wild things
things that slither upon the ground
and hop and swim and . . .
is weary of men's bother and seethe
worried over men's extravagant mind
which carries his thoughts
further and further
in misguided directions

Touche. The God Particle at work for those remaining rational and respectful of nature's independent power.

right now i find your wonderful words apply also to this sea...this mind boggling reminder of God's awe and fear-inspiring power. so much so that whatever words i come up w/ seem quite trivially inadequate
Reviewed by Ruan Burke 8/4/2012
It's no surprise that Nature learns to be wary of Mankind. We have done much to cause serious harm and continue to do so.
Man will wake up to what he has done when it's all too late.
Some of us know and empathise - but too many of us ignore the consequences of our existence.
A very poignant write, jerry.

You are so insightful and sensitive to nature, you feel what they have felt Jerry. They are still your friend a place you can go, there is much wisdom in the trees. Like you they are sensitive and knowing. They have been here longer than we have.

Men have been cruel and have hurt nature and nature fears them. But you are a good soul, they know :)

Beautiful insightful write on what has become of nature due to mans indignities!

Love and Light

You can't be far from the truth. We've done so much harm to nature that it's not surprisingly, nature at least forms a little reluctance against mankind.
Reviewed by Budd Nelson 8/4/2012
i like this one Jerry, mother natures living things should be a little tired of their being intruded upon.
