I am that seagull…

Uh oh, another semi-philosophic write, am I coming out of my humor closet...?




Poem Artwork

Alone,

Off the phone,

Mind blown,

Still a kid,

Not grown…

 

I live for my next meal,

Where it comes from no big deal,

When I can I sleep,

I must admit I live my life on the cheap…

 

I stare out to sea,

Looking for myself, me,

Am I lost and unfound,

Have I on rocks run aground…?

 

Only I can tell,

I wish for a new life,

Of the old one I can sell,

I try not to let it get to me, strife…

Ed,

We are all here for a purpose, my friend. One of yours is keeping us smiling through your writes. Your poetry always comes from deep within yourself, always real and a delight for others to read.

Blessings always,
~Linda

We should all try the same; makes life a tad easier.

When we examine our life and the world we have chosen to surround ourselves in...we are often forced to wonder if we can or even if we want to do better...hard questions call for hard answers

Staring out to sea has a tendency to make us wistful, thoughtful, and introspect. That's a good thing. To dwell on the past is not. You are looking forward and only you can choose that path to a new life. Taking that first step on that new path is the first step of your wish. Patrick

I like looking at this through your verses from the philosophical perspective of the gull. Thanks, Ed. Love and peace,

Regis

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
