Along The Line Man Became Civilized Behold the beauty before me brushed swept sky’s of crimson hues. So tenderly the orb of day embarks upon its journey steadily coming guaranteed. Whimsical breeze dancing through semi baron trees tossing brightly colored leaves into the air for one last dance. Coming awake Nature stirs, soft melodies begin to fill stilled air, upon the ground dew kissed, the creatures of the land tip toe with careful step. Humanity of yet does not own this day, the moment belongs to serenity and enables those who wish to enjoy the awesome beauty beheld before them in complete peace. If not for what man thinks is important they earth would dance in sheer delight before us day and night, but some were along the line man became civilized. The moral intellectual achievement’s of mans culture has destroyed and pushed Nature to the brink of none existence and calamity. Becoming masters of the earth rather than partners has actually ensured are downfall and demise. Forgetting that if cherished Nature could sustain life completely and fulfill your hearts desires with pure joy and contentment. By meager means man could exist, dwelling in harmony and the spirit could grow to its fullest with just they abundance the earth has to offer. But some were along the line man became civilized. “Oh” to contemplate what “if” we took a different path, made different choices, what if! This is a repost from the corner pub, I thought maybe I should post it here too, thank you. By, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!"

"If not for what man thinks is important they earth would dance in sheer delight before us day and night, but some were along the line man became civilized." This is a beautiful piece. Why did we have to become "civilized"?? Well, I guess I would miss my computer a little  Thanks for posting."Where there is great love there are always miracles" -Cather "Love heals everything, and love is all there is"- Zukav |

Hi, LoveBug, Thank you for your kind reply, I think its not a matter of becoming civilized as much as some of the things that people have forgotten, alot of loving others and how we treat our fellow man, plus and this is big with me the destruction of the earth has gotten way out of hand or at least thats what I think and I would be lost without this computer hehe. Thanks again. Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

IT is quite sad that we have lost touch with nature, maybe one day we will learn the errors of our ways. A fantastic poem, with much food for thought. "an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women". Patti Smith |

Cerenity this poem is filled with truth. As man continues to build in technological achievement he also takes something away....not all accomplishments are bad but there are those that hurt the earth and that is where i agree with you......ethome |
