No pretense

Art by Bill L'Engle


Hush, desperate thoughts
Listen to beautiful beat
I walked down to earth
          Watch a new life’s hatching eggs
          Heart in the sync – no pretense

    Hatching can bring forth much, hatch a good plan

    To me, this gives that sense of how walking down to earth and listening to the beautiful beat of nature can hush our most desperate thoughts. Lovely truth here.

    Experiencing birth is certainly one way to quiet the desperate heart. ANd if the one who walks down to earth can manage to keep life growing with no pretense, that will be a welcome miracle.

    Each spring seems like an opportunity for a new "hatching"
    I like the way you took the art and blended this poetry

    Hopefully with the opportunity for new life and new generations, there may be something of this great world for them to appreciate and enjoy..The art image supports the hatching of new life, very well..

    Something will survive and prosper in the mess we leave but it is unlikely to be us.

    How wonderful! This lovely poem reminds us that if we take the time to stop, listen, look and appreciate all of the amazing things in nature, we can only harmonise with them and be part of them...
