A melody,divine

A melody,divine

A Poem by Joel Armstrong

 Through the mountains of yore
Of man made tunnels I pass,
Dame nature's subtle, 
yet ethereal form,
Flashes by.

In a blink they go
Remaining in my eye
For nigh one- sixteenth
 of a second.
Yet
it remains chiseled into my memory.

The voice of the hills and valley,
I discern.
A song emancing from
The bosom of Dame nature..
And when she sings
All listen, closely
With rapt attention,
To hear the wisdom
Behind her divine melody.

And  those foolish mortals
Who remain unmindful 
To this sublime affair
And basks in the murk of
His own ignorance,
Is cursed to remain, the rock 
He's become.
A mere croaker in a well.

But to those who heed
Her tranquil tune,
Shall be unchained from
Their monotonous tethers
To become one with
Dame nature.

Nature has a voice for sure. Such a beautiful poem complimented with complex word choice, which garnishes the effect. :)

Many people fail to listen to nature. If you listen carefully you can learn many lessons. Shame how many are curled inside themselves without having the ability to open their eyes and sharpen their ears, because there is so much to see.
Thanks for sharing! Liked it very much :)
