Nature in Retreat
Have you ever…
held on the sound of crickets
lamenting the loss of silent darkness?
Those who have know that the men
who came with their cables of light
destroyed the songs that once filled the desert air
and the symphonies ounce of moonlight.
Have you ever…
touched the flame of fireflies
as they huddle in the shadows of scorching neon,
the endless pulsation of man's loss of innocence?
Those who have, know the sparkling of nature's night watchmen
who may never be seen again in this maze of indulgent corridors.
Have you ever…
listened to the silent vibration of your essence?
Those who have, know the crickets and the firefly
like themselves.
As you walk the avenues of life's shock and awe,
its searing light and sound show
beg to be embraced.
Remember
everyone has a chance to win
or just Be
Some have listened and seen,
some have not.
Have you ever been to Vegas?
It's everywhere…
and nowhere,
according to Nature.
of his favourite times at night, was simply to go up to the top deck to
look at the stars without light pollution...
He said it was unbelievably beautiful, and he felt at total Peace...
It is so sad that few get to experience such an awe inspiring celestial display...
Your second verse I found so very sad...
describing the fireflies huddled in the shadows of scorching neon..
‘The endless pulsation of man’s loss of innocence...’
What a great line!
A powerful elegant piece which I enjoyed reading ...
Diana...
I feel your pain, but I can't hear your refrain above the sound's vibrations.
