Today's Poem

Outside The Box

There's more to life outside the box
The hand of fate controls the locks
Yet if we stay and just look out
We'll miss what life is all about

Contained within, it's safe and warm
Outside there rages many a storm
The choice is hard to make that leap
But what's in here? We eat and sleep

So never settle for these four walls
The voice of courage gently calls
Let's hear and heed the words which fall
Lest nothing is learned, no truth at all

And moving outwards, all could be
For life is free for you and me
To learn the things we need to know
Outside the box we'll have to go

Recently, regrettably, a friend retreated behind some walls no one can see.............I guess she finds it safe in there. Occassionally, she comes out and is herself, and then she retreats again. Sad, but true. Anyway, one good thing has come from the evil done to my poor little friend. I have felt poetic lately.

Simon - I so enjoy read your poems. Thanks

Much more than thinking outside the box, actually getting out there. Great advice that everyone should heed.
