I Wonder

I really wonder about these blogs. Does anyone actually care about what some random person is saying? I mean on this planet of some billions of people, the air is heady with opinions, raves, rants and whatever. Does anyone really care?
Sometimes I feel that this blogging is also something people who can't in real life make proper conversation do- write things they would'nt dream of saying in any forum, let alone even when they are by themselves. Now this is how it seems to be ,because being in the business of being paid to have an opinion,I dont have a problem saying what I have to say either in front of hundreds of people or in a small group. And then of course, there are yards and yards of newsprint from where I really can shout out my opinions and what have you. And then of course, there is also Facebook ,where everyone knows what you are thinking- at least most of it, never mind if it is voyeristic.
So when I see some blogs with such virulent opiniated views on almost everything, sometimes I feel like saying,'' hey pal, just chill, wont you?'' Almost always, those with the most rabid or lets just say filled with such self importance statements, could be the proverbial wallflower.
Hey I'm saying all this knowing fully that should one of these self appointed keepers of consiousness read what I'm saying will have a couple of nasty things to retort. I hope they do. For then I would know that I'm somewhere right.


Summer shimmers
The sea is restless
Ships placidly lie in wait
For that moment of movement
And the sun is not sure when to shine


The trees mulishly still
Yet there is a hint of breeze
Is that from my mind or really from the air/
The waters undulate with a music all thier own

Lovers call
But wires are not crossing
Hearts are full
Without the comfort of touch

Let the world go around
The heat is here to stay
But there is nothing that is static
For in the sky there is a debate about disgorgement

A loud plop and there it lands
On more of summer shimmers
Diamonds for a moment
Not hard though
For nature is a woman
To love, hold and to nurture
