Granny & Elaine gave me the idea - An Old Poem - Comments?

In the silent forest a scream is unheard


The blaring voice shouts to deafened ears untoward


Relentless cries beseech a plead for rescue


The forest floor consumes and sounds go mute





Nearby a clearing of wild flowers sway


God's beautiful creations quick to allay


Words of angst approach a receptive ear


Answers without boundaries gently appear





Alternative paths chance an upcoming trail


Guarded with thorned briers but roses prevail


Select this route is whispered and harmonized


Death and life argue til truth is realized

This is beautiful. I can see ruins and the path towards them, also a verdant field full of promise. I am the person walking the path, and I choose the ruins...only to sit and linger on the beauty of the field, which should be appreciated for itself and not for what can be made of it. A deep, reflective poem. I am in awe. Thank you for this gem.
Reply:It's beautiful. I love poetry of the Earth and this is one of my favorites. I don't believe I've seen this one before, so I'm happy you reposted it.
Reply:A beautiful "green" poem. It may be old, but the sentiment is newly being echoed by those of us who are making an effort to keep the Earth from being destroyed by its greatest predator--Homo Sapiens.
Reply:Message sublime even in this early poem you penned. The first two lines caused me to stumble but from then flowing. Perhaps me. My compliments though, well done.
