IN THE SILENCE OF FORESTS AND OCEANS
IN THE SILENCE OF FORESTS AND OCEANS
Life manifested forms time immemorial
Nature’s appearance seems quietude
Glimpses establish Ken
Close looks substantiate life in gear
Colossal energy ubiquitous
Animals, Plants, Creatures and Aquatic life living since then
Cheerful, Ecstatic, Joyous in their own sphere
Demonstrating life and death insignificant
Humans adopted change compulsive
Intelligence being foremost free to administer
Holocaust of other lives to their mission of civilized society
Sabotaged perception of their own consciousness
Have human minds turned inarticulate?
Isn’t it not late to comprehend?
Recognising significance of other life styles
End of ignorance lights up boundless visionary path
Existence so expansive to perceive ones of the ONE
In the silence of forests and oceans
I am happy to publish this Post on the Eve of “MAHASHIVARATRI” which is being celebrated in Spiritual Ecstasy all over the World and especially in India this 4th March 2019.
Wishing you All a great day. Let SHIVA shower upon All humans –Knowledge, Blessings and show the Path for the well being of All living things on this Planet.

Like you I love the forests and oceans and I am sure you know that.
Your post is a strong reminder to all of what is our heritage and belonging.
I want to quote a few of your great lines :
” End of ignorance lights up boundless visionary path
Existence so expansive to perceive ones of the ONE

Hello Miriam I just finished my Shivaratri Pooja.
Showers of Blessings have come to You also.
In the back ground of my mind I was rather waiting for your arrival here and the excellent comment.
Thanks for that.
Yes we are All one of the ONE.
Man has played with nature since beginning to full fill his motto. There is no excuse for that.
Don’t you think the other beings are so well behaved. All for themselves and most importantly have balanced this living Earth. Thanks to them also through Your comment. 😃

Why they refuse or don’t accept is again their Ignorance. 😃
Man has to learn to live from the other living beings or else he is stepping to destroy the Planet.

Thanks Cornelia is it only the way with the words.
I always keep looking forward to your visit and comment. How do you feel about the thought and idea of a change in the Human attitude to take example of other lives who live a better life. Of course it leads to much controversial talks as the subject is so.
I only mean to say that We as Humans can use our intelligence in that direction.
Oh! Cornelia I tried to visit your blog several times but the blog portion was not opening, I could only see the home page and photos.
That I saw through my smart phone by WP App.
When I am on the desk top I shall visit You.
Thanks

Very nice and eloquent! I like the gorgeous imagery in your poem to refer to all the elements of nature, expressing balance in the quietude though “cheerful” and “joyous in their own sphere”, which imply certain movements but always within this harmony. Love these verses:
“Animals, Plants, Creatures and Aquatic life living since then
Cheerful, Ecstatic, Joyous in their own sphere
Demonstrating life and death insignificant”
Your piece reaches its climax when human intelligence is used wrongly and creates the “holocaust of other lives”. These lines are very powerful:
“Humans adopted change compulsive
Intelligence being foremost free to administer
Holocaust of other lives to their mission of civilized society
Sabotaged perception of their own consciousness
Have human minds turned inarticulate?
Isn’t it not late to comprehend?”
I like the last line here because it opens a window to hope for a better humanity.
The end of your poem is perfect as you go back to the title and origin of your writing. Why can’t we learn to listen to the silence of nature?
The video is also lovely, so well done.
