Past Your Eyes

Past Your Eyes

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)

Open tour eyes, wide.

You see a place where cows

Go bathroom

Where they eat.

Chewing all day

To make the miracle

That looks like

A liquid blank slate.

 

Marvel at the tranquility

That exists in a place

That goes beyond the fence.

 

Take a look at this field

That holds an essential

Key to life

In the face of death

And not noticing

That the grass

Is still green.

I used to see cows all the time, and yes, they're a bit in their own world, but that tranquility you mention was always there. So peaceful too.

My pleasure, I'm full of it. Haha
The poem has a peaceful feeling making the reader think of the green pasture rather than all the other stuff

Thank you so much.
dearest Dale... I will lie down in green pastures... someday with
Elsie, a well known Cow. I will drink from the River of Life.
His Rod and Staff will Comfort me... Yea though I walk through the Valley...
I will be at Peace. truly, Pat... Amen

Amen and thank you for the review.
Cows, serene people, everyday life....all rolled into one shining poem.
I love cows, have since I was little, visiting Vermont and the farms...
they are so peaceful...and maybe dumb, but maybe they just know their duty and their fate and are resigned to it.
the grass is always greener, and the cows of more vibrant color in the next pasture.
Life is like that for us too often. We aren't peaceful like them, we want what we don't have and are Bullish on getting it.

It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool
