WHAT IS EXISTENCE

WHAT IS EXISTENCE




Nr. " WHAT IS EXISTENCE" Ann may 27th 2010

 

The swallow does his dance in the air, 

the dipper under water, 

the wagtail across the rocks 

and the aspen tree applauds with its leaves 

in the gentle Summer breezes; 

a feeling of freedom 

within the expression of dance, 

an act of creation is born of such an atmosphere, 

where the acrobats of nature 

are the art of a culture, 

innate in our beings, personified, 

carried out with such grace and beauty, 

excitement and joy, 

that to exist 

is enough of an explanation 

of existence.

very philosophical

this is very philosophical,capturing the elements of air,earth and sea...and the freedom of existence if we free ourselves like the swallow, the dipper and the wagtail.
