Connecting to the Source

Have you ever tried to feel

the resonance in the rumbling sound of the ocean?

Have you ever willed to recharge your soul with the effulgence

of a thunder-strike?

We have always stayed away from the originality.

This is why facade appears to be the face,

The artificiality prevails .

In my opinion, originality is hard to come by these days. Most female singers sound the same; most movies are knock-offs of older movies; and reality tv is predictable. But Nature does find a way to bring us back to her so long as we have the sensitivities to hear her call. We feel her alluring drawing, but we shut her out of our daily lives where "artificiality prevails." Great poem!

True, but it is difficult to be original, so much easier to be artificial though. Nicely written though.

I think this is very thought provoking...reminds me a little of Neitchze (probably spelled wrong, but none the less). I find the idea of artificiality and "facades" quite interesting, and I wrote something similar in context called "Masks" (though it's not posted here because it's in my collection that's coming out). It's the idea of the distance we put between ourselves and others and the artificial way that we interact in today's society.

We have always stayed away from the originality. -- Great line, but might I suggest removing the word "the"? Just to better the flow.

Nicely done.

[Anand Sehgal]

Thanks a lot Sarah, I will keep in mind the remark regarding the flow. It was used here to emphasize on the symbol / medium. But your viewpoint is right too :) Glad that you liked the write :)

[Anand Sehgal]

Waiting for your version of the same thought :) "Masks"

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

I think you'd like it...I use some Reneissance imagery and the idea of wearing masks coming and going from fashion, but in reality was are slowly devolving into becoming a society that "hides".

[Rita L. Sev]

If we immersed ourselves in nature, in true Living things, we would be a much more real society... Very thoughtful; I love the opening questions...

[Anand Sehgal]

Thanks a lot Ma'am . Glad that you liked the poem :)

Drinking in the beauty that is nature....reveling in it....can make the difference between a serene day and a stressful one. Yes, we often put too much emphasis on the "plastic" of life. This is a good write. Lydi**
