Nice poem about nature and embracing the beauty all around us. I like how you make this about the earth Goddess Gaia rather than about God in the Christian sense.

You did a great job with your powerful poem, ee.
It read smooth with great word choices and rhymes
The message was clear, too. Throughout time, man
has acted like he was in control and knew the best
for everything under the sun. However, he has been a
big user of all Nature has to provide without giving
back in many ways. He takes and takes, and wants
more. When will he realize he was part of the problem
from early on? When man and nature peacefully co-exist,
then Earth could be on a much-needed healing path.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Well, to use our common sense would be a great help in todays world. Not many do that unfortunately. We are in a turmoil and I don't like it. Your wonderful poem gave me food for thought. Ulla:)))

Huh, just read your bio and to show I reached the end I can nod with approval at the going to bed and getting up philosophy of life. I either skipped the rest or it went over my head.

Your poem here manages to combine a rocking (as in cradle lullabies) meter with environmental concerns, allusions to mysticism and ancient empires and some sort of message to enable us to save the universe.

Tigress? Or Tigris?

Quite a fun read.

Thank you for sharing this poem with us. I enjoyed the rhyming scheme the use of some alliteration. Both helped with the smooth flow. I guess the bottom line is to use your intelligence. Many do not in today's world.

I presume the author is well versed with ancient history especially that of Egypt and Persia. The allusions to pharaohs, Tigress and Gaia, mother earth all indicate your inclination towards ancient mysteries. Excellent write. Keep writing.

Well, this is full of alliteration and rhymes for days! I love the title of this very much Activate the intellect says it all so well. This speaks of humankind and how we have steered ourselves away from using our minds and instead go with our hearts and gut. I hope this doesn't keep happening and we learn to change our ways.
Thanks for addressing an important issue!
Have a happy Thanksgiving!
Jesse

In other words...use your head! I prefer the way you put it though, in this incredibly well written poem. I agree with all you say and what a perfect way to say it. Wonderful.
