"If we are all we are enough for me"


Poem Artwork

People Who Are Loved

I prefer
Evolutionary success
To
Revolutionary excess
 
I observe the balanced to be
True
As it were
 
When
The elements in harmony
Are
What is 
 
Then
That is
Now in equipoise:
Music without noise
 
People who are loved seem to me
To be true
By virtue
Of their centeredness in feeling worthwhile
 
Appreciative and appreciated
Feeling like loving and worth loving too
As validating as validated
As they do
 
Whenever I see this I sigh and smile
And search up the sky for a certain blue
Star
My talisman and touchstone of order
 
Which though I cannot reach it yet remains
A focal point ( . ) above the disorder
Surrounding me as payment for the pains
Which I have painfully taken
 
As so ordered
And disordered
By sheer and mere necessity
 
Certain blue star of uncertainty
Till greater light awaken
Successful evolutionary
Shine on the godforsaken
 
Across the lonely universe tonight
May people who are loved look up and see
Certain blue stars if of uncertain light
And not despair of their uncertainty
 
If this is all we are then let us be
If we are all we are enough for me

I appreciate your philosophical perspective presented via this poem which is worthy of much more than a single reading, Steven. Love and peace to you,

Remarkable! This is definitely one to print out and keep. The graphic was a perfect choice Lance.
Best Wishes,
