Arousing awe and admiration

In the midst of
the beautiful garden
stands a single rose
arousing awe and admiration.
**
In the midst of
the huge lovely pond
stands a red lotus
arousing awe and admiration.
**
In the corner of
the dense forest
sits a single rabbit
arousing awe and admiration.
**
Near the edge of
the flowing lake
swims a cute swan
arousing awe and admiration.
**
There lie wide roads
fly overs and railway lines;
A little away, leads
a narrow clear passage to the village
arousing awe and admiration.

Medhini,
excellent.
A good use of variation of form and imagery.
Effectively 2 refrains 1st and 4th lines – one playing over the steady one. The scenes seem to be what is knowable, familiar to us.
Then the change in the last verse – the concrete city(progress, modernity) but there within touch is the traditional, the homely.
Yet is this a connection with reality or nostalgia? or a mix of both.

@Gion Gion,
Medhini,
Simple flow of thoughts & images well etched, with genuine concern. But can we do away with technological progress?

@Gion Gion;
Besides the literal meaning, the
last two lines also say that a simple
straight forward path of mind is better
than the rude and crooked mind with
complexities.Thanks so much Gion.
Simple but a simply beautiful poem in its content & meaning,
shows a way for a still lot in the world for our awe, admiration & blissful pondering.
Liked the poem immensely
Kudos
