Reflective ramblings

. Can you know something is wrong and yet believe in it? Should you always believe your own eyes? Is there any such thing as common sense? We may be clever, but we are not wise. We're too easily swayed by pretty words Continually fall for well placed lies At times we just don't see the truth We are clever, but we are not wise. We put our faith in unlikely promises Placing trust where we surmise our future hopes and dreams to be We may be clever, but we are not wise. We may have all our worldly goods And be carried away by love's great guise Although our minds are cognizant We are clever, but we are not wise Could our sorrows be averted? Is this blindness our demise? Is there time enough left to see that we may be clever, but we are not wise?

I think I'm getting to be at least wise enough to know I'm not wise- and to therefore give up.

New Poetry by Ruan Mills

Observing lives

The Watcher

What if, such people appear in life as a revelation to things we can''t see? <br>...food for thought

An 'Alternative Perspective'

One's Best Ally.

When Nature summons there is always magic.

Moon Calling

<br>When Nature blows its own trumpet, it cannot be ignored.

The Gathering of Joy

Only the Good Souls

Let heaven and nature sing

It's all a question of balance.

{speaks for itself} <br> <br>The words in the image are mine too.
