Primal.

After watching Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

Little, by Little..

I'm starting to Realize that,

Maybe, we need.

To Learn.

How to Unlearn.  

What we have Learned.  

Maybe. 

Just Maybe.

  

Humanity’s primordial Mistake,  

is simply,

the fact that, 

We learned to Talk…

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if we didn't have our sense of self; but then I would never be able to know what it would be like to have no sense of self because i'd need a sense of self to notice we didn't have one...
Anyway, silly comment, I know.
It's what this reminds me of.
The images go nicely with it. Personally I think your work doesn't need the aid of pictures because it can speak for itself but I like what you've done with it nonetheless.

lol, i know, but i figured it would add more 'drama' to it, some people aren't good with words & prefer images & 'facts' ;) you know them well :P
& no, your comment isn't silly!! in fact i'm gonna save this!!
Thanks Kirsty!!! (^^)

[Desert Rose]

Yeah, talking can be only of the worst things we have going for ourselves and something amazing.

We can use it to turn people down, or build them up and people see it easier to turn people down.

The inability to step out of the world of noise and listen to silence is a lost art. Thanks for the attempt to restore it. Well done!

[Desert Rose]

& thank YOU for passing by & posting a review! :)

Sometimes it's better to bask in silence. Maybe even better to bask in the silence with someone else by your side. To learn how to live in a quiet moment. Take in your surroundings. Find clarity. Especially in a world so busy.

[Desert Rose]

Exactly, to be able to read someone else's thoughts & to be able to actually have a conversation while just gazing into each other's eyes..i'm aiming to achieve that one day :P
Thanks again!!

[Samantha Jenkins]

I need to learn the whole basking in silence.

I am too quick to speak, and not always listen.

[Desert Rose]

aren't we all? :)
we can however reverse that!

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

That goal we all must strive for, well done, good read.

[Desert Rose]

Indeed, we must.
Thanks again!

This is excellent...to UN-LEARN, I agree...compassion and empathy need no learning or words :)

"Strip it down and what is there? Mostly an illusion that gives way to a mindset not of our original own...we are spirit in flesh not the other way around...strip it down and just be - which is to live...perhaps...potent"-- Poppy Ruth Silver

Thanks for the inspiration (^^)

Bless...always welcome dear Neo :)

I totally agree with the message this poem has. Humanity has built up rules and created stigmas in our society that has caused us for forget how to be human, how to love, or just how to be. Thank you for sharing < 3

[Desert Rose]

writing is becoming so liberating to me at this point in time!
i'm happy to do it! if only i could do it faster,
so thank YOU for reading,
it's true that Nature has never written it's laws, but did it need to in the first place when everything already functioned in harmony? :)
& look at us now...

[wordman]

maybe we can change,start new .maybe we can love and not hate,just maybe

[Desert Rose]

Maybe :)
Thanks for stopping by Wordman!!
always the supportive one!

[Emily]

Lovely poem!!
Keep it up!

[Desert Rose]

Thanks Emily!! :)

That very well could be our downfall. Talking. And maybe thinking too.
A excellent poem, it does cause one to stop and ponder the wisdom of what you say. Lovely photos too, it reinforces the ending nicely. Animals do seem to get along a lot better than human beings do.

i keep remembering one of Bruce Lee's Quotes from Enter the Dragon,
"Don't Think, Feel...it is like a Finger Pointing a way to the Moon,
Don't Concentrate on the Finger or you will miss all that Heavenly Glory"

Thank you for your review!! sometimes the image says it all :)

[Tina Kline]

You;re most welcome. Yes, am image can be very powerful.
