One With Nature

One With Nature
by Raj Rajaniemi

Cold,
frigid cold,
my body now devoid of all fluids;
lying as a statue to the frailty of man,
for all perpetuity!

Man is ill prepared for places
that he is want to belong,
places designed by the creator
for and to be the realm
of other prepared breeds of animals
for a purpose that I am not privy!

And so, here I lie;
frozen, well rigid beyond rigor mortis.
I am harder than a piece of ebonite stone,
on the outside,
while on the inside,
there lies a small flexive material core
that has refused as of yet;
to become, One With Nature!

Some times lighting that fire within our selves is the hardest thing to do. Valentine

Kathie, sometimes it is lighting that fire as you so aptly put it and other times it is the refusal of the fire of life to be eternally extinguished. I appreciate your point of view with much regard!

[wordman]

but the creator gave us the ability to think,so you took out your lighter and built a fire
as to escape the freezing part..but the theme of the poem is great rj

Ron, thank you as always for reading my rambles and finding just what I had intended to say in complete clarity!

I like the above lines. They are true. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Coyote, you always place me on the straight and narrow with your words of wisdom and clarity. I need a shove here, a push there. I am not at all as sure of my next word as i would like to be. You have often set my wobbles of mind back upon a positive drift. Thank you!

[Coyote Poetry]

Always a pleasure to read your words and you are welcome.

closing gives me a chuckle ...i'm singing a childhood song "the worms crawl in ..the worms call out ... through the belly and out the snout!" :)

i think you have some fine lines; those that inspire, elevated thinking ... meditations .. on what is important in life ... how little we know ... and its not always about us :}
enjoyed very much ... all good things to consider when dealing with our deaths

I thank you for your incite into this little wayward poem of mine! I had an idea and knew not which way in which way to travel with it. This then is the fruit of my labors! I am not unhappy my friend with the result!

A higher purpose we do strive for, for the higher self. Oneness and wholeness are in unity with that purpose. Excellent,...:)

I welcome your comments and review. I have been on a brief writing hiatus and this is my first poem in a good, little while. My regards to you!

Best welcomes...:)....................
