Nature's Alibi

Delighted by a rippled sky
                            in layers of a parfait pink
I wonder nature’s alibi
              and how it always makes me think

For though I see its wondrous hues
       through eyes that show me of its grace
I know that it is everywhere  
                   in every person, thing or place

To what amazement, I am bound
                         in trying to respect its rule
In realizing that the world
                           is just its subjugated fool

Yet nonetheless, its beauty reigns
              in mountains, rivers, forests green
In every flower’s subtle scent
                        in everything I’ve ever seen

I wonder nature’s alibi
                though manifesting so much love
It’s also holds the key to hate
                       If only men could rise above

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 5/7/2024 7:30:00 AM Dear Mike, What a captivating journey through the enchanting realms of nature, evoking a sense of wonder and introspection. Your contemplation of nature's omnipresence, its ability to both inspire awe and instill humility, is both thought-provoking and humbling. May we continue to cherish and protect the wonders of nature, rising above hate to embrace the boundless love it offers. - Blessings, Daniel
Victor Buhagiar Date: 5/6/2024 9:32:00 PM Normally I'm not pessimistic, but the way humans are behaving, makes me feel we are plunging ourselves into an abyss. Great thoughts.
Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 5/6/2024 4:08:00 PM Your poem resonated with me, Mike. I share your sentiments. If only we humans could be more like nature...how submlime that would be. I liked the physical structure of your poem as well as the fluidity of your rhyme scheme. "Nature's Alibi" is the perfect title. Well done & enjoy your evening, Sara

Lin Lane Date: 5/6/2024 2:50:00 PM We’re guilty of taking nature for granted when it offers us so much. Good reminders.
Jan Allison Date: 5/6/2024 12:19:00 PM I absolutely adore the imagery especially "Delighted by a rippled sky in layers of a parfait pink I wonder nature’s alibi and how it always makes me think" what a wonderful world it would be if wars were a thing of the past and we could live in harmony with nature. hugs jan xx
