The sound of mankind can be so ugly--with its talk of hate, war, racism, sexism, all the-isms that paint our lives a dirty smelly poisonous gray

Better than a picture, better than a film, your poetic description not only perfectly alive but also full of the emotion from the excellent poetry, derrived. To my favorites, **********

I have come across a lot of such enclaves in stories, epics and cartoons. Your great poetic aptitude has digested their significance

I felt myself in an abandoned palace the remnants of which are still fabulous and majestic due to the lonely peacefulness

Great poem Rose Marie, people need to go out and be with nature, close their eyes and just listen, nature does speak but we have to first listen.

2) For, " the gentle swishing Of leaves in the trees The rhythmic chirping of birds And the whistling of the wind" make it a cherished, coveted destination. More so, because man is absent.
