"This word water world I swim in and thrive"


Poem Artwork

Never Been the Burying Kind

The family plot proved a faulty scheme
I have never been the burying kind
My waking life no more real than my dream
A butterfly chased with an open mind

I am just starting and starting to know
That I mean to write if it takes all night
To see how much I can possibly grow
As long as it takes till I get it right

Some people say now I can take it slow
They mean well they just fail to understand
There is no certain milestone of success
Along the long road to the promised land

So I will just keep wandering I guess
Writing down things of interest I see
Most of it very strange some of it true
Of interest in any case to me

May it too be of interest to you
This word water world I swim in and thrive
At least we have something useful to do
Since nobody gets out of here alive

I'm not the 'burying kind' either and won't pay for a plot. Thanks for sharing this.

"Never Been the Burying Kind"
Enjoyed your rhythm count good write.
Unfortunatley it is all true below,
"Since nobody gets out of here alive"

Continued enlightenments,

I'll wander too and, in the end, as I've stated before; please scatter my ashes on a gentle zephyr over woodland and river. I shall watch from above and love it. Thank you, Stevie. Love and peace to you, my friend,

As we swim through life we all learn lessons, just as writing down all things of interest.
Well done.

Steven, I had to laugh at the end...a chuckle that leaves a lasting thought in question...saying, "Is it that I'm laughing from the write, or laughing toward the truth?" Great job and very thought provoking!
Love and Peace~

Sounds like a real poet to me. 'My waking time no more than a dream. A buterfly chased with an open mind' I love this quote. Are you just a wonderer and a dreamer? Can you get by with this? Most people have to work." Nice work if you can get it and you can get it if you try."
