Myth or mythomania
Where in wind swayed ways
may you lift from branches
to grow a compass from compassion
these muddy banks where once
a home rooted in undead soil
snail skinned oxygen eyed
plasticised melodies begin
sinking to where upon
further deeper
a man grows
these inner surfaces
an iris for an eye
he turns on the water tap
dreams within steam
from a kettle
where among water
he abides to peace
how Nordic fjords
reek cyanide
tourist ferries
brochures
a Salmon
illusion
allusion
a mere reflection
each year
he still books
a vacation
not knowing
how wild life guides
disturb natural
instincts of polar bears
feeding their cameras
with images of bear cubs
he cares not
for all those wise old ones
being cut down to keep
airports and landing spaces
i n t a c t
he cares not
for what he has obstructed
believing in Viking helmets
he bought his latest troll statue
a sales man wearing
a bear skin hat
threw in a mini Tors hammer
walking home he remembers
Northern lights and his camera shots
from the Northern cape
at last
for
a
moment
he
thought
he
was

Man's desire to be entertained seems to be at the expense of natural things: nature, wildlife, people ( slave labor, et al ). This is a very observant write which breaks away from the mundane 'preaching' ( so it were ) observations written by so many. It's from the perspective of experience, of understanding, and deep empathy for the natural world.

Thank you dear Ahavati, for sharing your wise insights on this piece. It helps to weave our two cents into the collective fields, or at least I believe so. Bright blessings

this worldly spurred consumerism materialism capitalism.. so how men think showcasing their goods n currencies n their lies as great social status .. the grim reality, going away from nature off self n around.. killing self .. is the root cause of it all .. you say so strong the truth from your empathetic soul .. nods to Ahavati’s deep observations above .. write on xx

Dear Uma,
Always like to read your reflections on any of my writes. Its always interesting to see anyones perspective on things. YES the holy materialism and consumerism! One good thing is that the state can not own ALL of the fjords , the local far off fjords are still cleaner and unkept. People often want to go to an island such as Lofoten isl but any local place will guarantee you a better option. I read that some countries are allowing less tourists, Im all for it! Time to visit or revisit your own areas. Anyways many blessings to you and yours!
