I have wished a bird would fly away,
And not sing by my house all day;
Have clapped my hands at him from the door
When it seemed as if I could bear no more.
The fault must partly have been in me.
The bird was not to blame for his key.
And of course there must be something wrong
In wanting to silence any song.
And not sing by my house all day;
Have clapped my hands at him from the door
When it seemed as if I could bear no more.
The fault must partly have been in me.
The bird was not to blame for his key.
And of course there must be something wrong
In wanting to silence any song.
I read this poem, called A Minor Bird by Robert Frost and it kind of made me think about some people's view of nature. People take things as simple and beautiful as a bird chirping for granted. People believe that they have everything. Their materialistic view of life keeps them completely satisfied... or so they think. When one truly embraces the essence and beauty of nature, then you can truly see what we have really been missing. I believe people are hardwired with a yearning for a connection with nature. But with modern day tech-filled hullabaloo fills our minds blotting out or casting a shadow of that need for nature.
