A well written poem by Shel Silverstein
His writings have been translated into thirty differently languages and selling over 20 million copies. One of his quotes is so simple yet so poetic.
If the track is tough and the hill is rough, THINKING you can just ain't enough!
The poem is titled Forgotten Language and I hope you enjoy the beauty in his words.
Forgotten Language by Shel Silverstein
Once I spoke the language of the flowers,
Once I understood each word the caterpillar said,
Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,
And shared a conversation with the housefly
in my bed.
Once I heard and answered all the questions
of the crickets,
And joined the crying of each falling dying
flake of snow,
Once I spoke the language of the flowers. . . .
How did it go?
How did it go?

What a gem is the poetry of Shel Silverstein! I believe when we mimic the patterns of nature we can connect more deeply with the rhythms of the universe... is it possible our souls still speak the language of the flowers?

I love this poem. A while ago I read somewhere that humans used to be connected deeply with nature and we have been slowly separating ourselves from her. I wonder why..

Hay idiomas universales, @joseph. Como por ejemplo, el de la naturaleza, el de una mirada, el del alma. Cuando somos capaces de descifrar estos lenguajes, estamos por encima de cualquier banalidad humana y ser hermano del otro. Cuántas cosas serían distintas si logramos comunicarnos. Gracias por compartir.

First of all it's really amazing to hear about the printing of pieces in 30 different languages and 20 million copy sold out it's really great stats and numbers and it shows the calibre of someone. And this poetry is really beautiful and if we read it then it will reflect as the poet have very close essence with nature's beauty, organic life and nature's creatures. And the last question marks will push us into imagination, in my opinion and according to my feeling that question mark is regarding the unimaginable beauty of our nature and sometimes we question ourselves as how this beautiful natural beauty all over the world possible. Thanks for sharing and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂
