Poem Artwork



Moments pass us by and still we ask ourselves why
Or we seek the road with no deadend and keep perservering
Whispering when?
We dally in our existence and never reach for the depth
We hedge the promises to oursleves and mask emotions
Without respect.
We sing to an orchestra without knowing the words
So we hum
We doubt our own initiatives until we all become
Undone
We run so fast we miss the treasures
We think we have
But know no better
We stay content in the maze of run around and continue dazed
Until the road ends and then we see
That we were blind in our searches
Refused to believe
Life is simple and not a maze but one fulfilling within the days
The ones we spend with treasures deep
The ones that make us all complete.

I've truly been running blind for most of my life, but all that has changed, I'm searching out the true depth and meaning of things now, and I'll never settle for anything less. Such a true and wonderful write. Love, Pierre.

... these lines reduce me to tears, Susan. Strange that the maze of "keeping the lid on the box" seems so easy when we start out in life, but, years down the line, all the suppressed energies build until the whole chabang is just plain blown out the water, leaving us with only that choice we should have made at the outset... Being true to self. It's the only way to go. Thought-provoking and inspiring, thank you. Kate xx
