When the world clamors loud, we can run to the honesty of nature and trust the quiet communication of a poem. Poetry, photographs, paintings and sculptures- all creative efforts speak to us in a language all their own. Let’s listen.
Illation
I like birds…and beasts.
With them there is no hidden agenda.
There is no pretending, manipulation,
misunderstanding, or misgivings-
as with my own kind.
Everything is laid bare, whether
breathtaking, beautiful, tender
or terrifying.
and I-
having observed both from
safe distance
find more wisdom
among them.
