Zenith of Zen
The crow perched at the crest of the tree.
Is in constant scrutiny of human monotony.
The robin wearing an auburn breast
hops along more casually.
The starling tucked in the leafy branch squawked.
Of his pipedream of being a hawk.
Life seems to just effortlessly transpire.
As if nothing is right and nothing is wrong.
Agonized thoughts seem a little less diar.
While nature's bursting with jubilant song.
When it hurts to be human,
Seek the natural world,
The zenith of zen.
Is in constant scrutiny of human monotony.
The robin wearing an auburn breast
hops along more casually.
The starling tucked in the leafy branch squawked.
Of his pipedream of being a hawk.
Life seems to just effortlessly transpire.
As if nothing is right and nothing is wrong.
Agonized thoughts seem a little less diar.
While nature's bursting with jubilant song.
When it hurts to be human,
Seek the natural world,
The zenith of zen.

Recently read that those who notice birds & their songs are either deeply spiritual or on the cusp of a spiritual awakening. This one is all nature awareness. Beautiful

Thx so much for stopping bye.

HA! I must have missed this poem. Plus, I didn't know you changed your photo. See what happens when your away for a few hours.
Tranquility and your poetry always goes hand & hand. Wonderfully written. Love the visual as well.

Nice two-fold emotional elaboration. I feel as though you capture both atmospheres quite well as it transpired. The innocence and/or the corruption of nature on the human mind, heh. There is a lot said in the metaphors you use, and the definitional direction you pose. Great job.
