Care

in #poetry7 years ago



Man is Care


Heidegger says,


So


I fill the bath

With fresh water

Each day.


I’m not sure

If animals come

But it’s there.


It looks lovely

Nestled among hostas

Beneath the pine.


The trees behind

Are turning yellow

And shadows

Cross the garden.


My dog and cat

Are at the window screen

Watching .


I join them

And we peer out,

We three,


Joined in an ancient ritual.


What would we do

Without them?


Bless the beasts


For the world can be

A lonely place.

Man is ignorant in nature, Ibn Khaldun Says
So I prefer to showe myself with knowledge every night and days
Rather than pure intellect
I prefer intuition to bring me to illumination.

Nice poet anyway.

Bless the beasts, indeed! Thank God for them.

The universe would be so much poorer without them.

(With the possible exception of ants...)

😄😇😄

@creatr
