Nature

Attempting to write a poem about how insignificant humans are to the history of the earth and how nature has been a part of the world since its beginning.

Lying down with my back to the sky

One cricket chirps while another one dies

 

Pitch black darkness

Except for the white stars shining through

The ambient wind brushes against the trees

Creating a wave of life amoung the stillness

 

I can feel the earth

Pushing on my head, back, and legs

There is a kind of serenity in nature

Everything is peaceful

 

I seem to be frozen in time

Moments do not pass

There are no deadlines to be met

Everything is peaceful

 

My conscienceness flows

From my body to the soil

From the soil to the grass

And from the grass, back up through my spine

 

Lying down with my back to the sky

One cricket chirps while another one dies

Life still goes on.

Author's Note

Its free verse and I'm quite aware I'm not a good poet.

Reviews

[Jane Smith]

'...Not a good poet poet," what nonsense this is beautiful!! I love how you said that life moves on even though people come and go, live and die. What an honest message. Great read.

[LunarSong]

Very pretty thought, I agree that the opening two lines are wonderful.

[Rob]

The opening two lines of this are profound. Could almost be a poem by themselves!
