quietly wild
quietly wild
because if you listen closely
you can hear the barnacles sing
-
quietly wild
because eagles have their own magnificent call
and it’s not the one you hear
on your tv
-
quietly wild
because the puffins started
disappearing
long before any human noticed
but the earth wept
and wants us to grieve with her
-
quietly wild
because the loudest voices
of the politicians and celebrities
the influencers
and the news anchors
drown the quiet voice of nature
-
quietly wild
because the real world
is not found on your phone
and joy doesn’t come
from stranger’s likes
-
quietly wild
because there is more to life than
spreadsheets, profits, and efficiency
ask the salamanders
and the butterflies
the turtles and the damselflies
-
quietly wild
because there so much beauty
in a world seemingly gone mad
-
quietly wild
because if you can be anything
in this precious life
be real
-
quietly wild
because to be real
is to be free
-
quietly wild
- loving words written by The Wild Wisdom Shepherdess while standing in her kitchen making biscuits
