-- Then There Are Some–

John Herlihy

 

Then there are some

Who are but meek.

These are the ones

Who themselves seek.

 

Then there are some

Who are but brave.

These are the ones

Who themselves save.

 

Then there are some

Who the earth explore.

These are the ones

Who this world adore.

 

Then there are some

Who below surface probe.

These are the one

Who find the inner lode.

 

Then there are some

Who forever do seek.

These are the ones

Wishing Spirit to meet.

 

Then there are some

Who uncover the mystery.

These are the ones

Who surrender to the Divinity.

INDEED THIS IS SO. WE ARE ALL SO DIFFERENT, GOING IN ELECTED VARIED DIRECTIONS. SO, LET'S THANK GOD FOR...CHOICE. A GOD-GIVEN PRIVILEGE, NOT FOR SOME, BUT...FOR ALL. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Then there are some that seek perfection in poetry
Who offer the hungry mind a feast.
I enjoyed the poem. It was thought provoking.

‘But the meek shall inherit the Earth’ the psalm tells us…
perhaps those who themselves seek, hold the ultimate key…

Such a beautiful inspirational ray of light carefully danced upon layers of wisdom in truth. Thank you John for this glorious piece

While I don't much agree with the last stanza, the concept of seek and ye shall find is carried out well by your poems. The further we seek, the less we find out we know. But that should not stop us from seeking and learning in the process.
