This Docile Earth Poem by Quoth TheRaven
This Docile Earth
This world, never ours alone, but shared with other creatures great and small.
The Earth turns and new dawn comes, and will long after we're gone.
A Sandpiper flitted along the shore and told me so.
We must face a truth that we borrowed these days, you and I,
from benefactors and trustees, unborn and untested, yet will be.
I finally understand now, watching the selfless Caracal's practiced smile..
the tawny red bearded lion basks in the same sunshine.
Touch a heart, lift a soul will you? It's not too late.
For I have faith we are mostly good.
Now listen to the song of nature, be kind..
and don't worry about what never would.
Well conceived and nicely crafted in persuasive expressions with conviction. An insightful bit of verse, focused and factual. Thanks for sharing and do remain enriched.
Chinedu, 'Focused and factual', , can words heal? Thank you for your comment poet. -QtR
Such an enthralling and fascinatingly beautiful, deep poem. Outstretching, encompassing sweetly all life, all that inhabits this generous planet. The very charming last stanza is filled with verses denoting, kindness, love and good feelings. A true sentimental outlook and a joy to read.
Thank you for this comment Sandra. Live and let live, the moral perhaps? Though not so patient with those that cut me off in traffic. Probably why I write so very little poetry on my daily commute to work. QtR

So, Q, you are "tight" with the Sandpiper? ? ? I had "a little trouble" with this poem. Let me see another. Bri : )
