! ! Real Life Is Free Comments

Rating: 5.0

Beauty of my garden shows me that real life is free,

THIS MATERIALISTIC WORLD AND OUR GREED HAS MADE US BLIND TO THE BEAUTY OF THINGS AROUND! THE FULL MOON NIGHT, THE NIGHT SKY, THE RAINBOW, THE FLOWERS, -MUSIC AND POETRY! HERE THERE IS A CRAZE FOR IMPORTED THINGS! IT BECOMES MORE ATTRACTIVE THE COSTLIER IT IS! ! 10 + Yes I have heard Garner's and Brubeck's piano play, they are simply great I must say! - Raj

You are a contended and happy man Bob. You have packed this poem with picturesque images and your love of nature shines through. Things you see, many others cannot, and this is your gift, to perceive harmony and beauty and relate it to others in a magnificent poem like this. 10 Karin Anderson

'I am sure real life is free' - as they say in America 'You had better believe it! ' Thanks for sharing your garden and your peace. Read my 'Oasis'-preferably in your garden! . If its magpies you want I a will send you three for good luck. I have a surplus of them around my house and wood! Your poem is rich in description and therapautic in its message.

This is the way to achieve a better way of life. Relax be still, no thoughts of what life was, or wanting feelings for a future happy life. The now is now and now is all the life we have, so enjoy and do not grasp this moment, but just live each moment as they come.......................Wonderful Lines..........Think not of morrow for morrow will take care of itself................Christ...........Good Write...

And yet how rich you are to be so in tune with the music of the spheres. May the invaluable gifts of peace and contentment always be yours. And may your muse never desert you. Lovely work. Warm regards, Sandra

Defining the life with all its merits and demerits. Yes! Nature/God had given everything to us. But our greed is driving us towards unlimited vague/psudo pleasures........This poem is so exhaustic, so complete and ofcourse so compelling.........

This is a beautiful reflection Bob. A piece describing the beauty which makes for true peace. As you bring out it is really free and for the taking to those who see. Thank you for an unforgettable scene amid a land that otherwise we, most of us at least, would never experience. Best wishes Fay.

You have found a beauteous peace within yourself allowing you the freedom to see the value of all about and, through this work, shared. Real life is indeed free but there shall always be a bill presented after lunch.
