in the shadows

Useless navigation
on an ocean dried and dead,
it's life
or so they tell me,
yet what's in it?

Does breathing justify the air,
or is there something more;
is mere existence,
in itself,
a policy that's sane?

What do rain clouds owe the grass
when I could let it die?

I ask,
and though
it seems the questions are for exercise,
would air make any sense at all
if none where here to breath?
...of course to follow that a bit
I'd not be here to ask.

I always take a deep breath before I read one of yours, in case things get too intense...glad I did!

Excellent Icebox, enjoyed your thoughts and the great way they've been penned.

The laws of life are astonishingly harmonious, men have messed up a few things though, i.e. desert is conquering space in some parts of the world, but then in some other parts desert is transformed in luscious gardens.
Everything makes sense, even if we don’t always understand it. But I trust in the harmony of All there is.
Your questions require more pondering than I can handle in a few moments!
Appreciated your thought provoking words.
Btw. it is never foolish to think.
Love, Margherita
