    Cave

    Cave

     

    I visit you in your cave.

    It is a lovely cave

    But it is still a cave.

     

    I want to be in nature

    Where the birds sing the songs I long to hear

     

    I want to wash my face with the wind

    And excite every neuron with the icy flow of pure streams

     

    I long to breath clean air untainted by re-circulation

    And I hope to feel the mud squish between my toes

     

    I don’t wish to live in a cave

    But, alas I do for pay

    Do you still want to wallow?

     

    It is a lovely cave

    But it is still a cave.

     

    So, take me on a journey

    Where the only sounds are silence

    And time is forever

     

    Hurry now, time’s a-wastin’

    And my senses are dulled daily

     

    Tell me the words I long to hear

    And breathe a new life to my heart

     

    Shock my system with renewal

    Purge me of my old ways

     

    Show me the obstacles I have constructed

    Let me hear the angels sing

     

    Help me escape my cave.

    I live in a city cave but came from a forest dwelling where nature was my abode. Turkeys, deer, fox, coyotes, bobcats, mink, weasels, ground hogs, owls, eagles, hawks, skinks, snakes, tall oaks and hickories were at my front doors day and night. But then there were those pests; ticks, chiggers and mosquitoes were blood sucking predators who loved my warm blood. It is a wonderful experience but now I am content to visit and take my Deep Woods Off. Nice poem and filled with great meaning. Olan.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
