Pretty Human?!

there are far too many self obsessed individuals these days who flock like sheep around the latest look, gizmo or gadget .. I truly fear for the future and wonder whether they will eventually develop sufficient insight and self awareness to see how stupid, if not pathetic they really are ..

Strewth, please forgive the rant but I couldn\'t help myself .. I enjoyed my visit here today and agree entirely with the view that beauty and aesthetics are both in the eye of the beholder and that both change over time .. whereas what makes us uniquely individual i.e our personality, mind and spirit often get more beautiful or attractive over time .. Anyway, here\'s me wishing you All Good Things .. 💛👍

An existential journey that at one time or another we all take. Nicely written. We need to listen to others and be sensitive but not necessarily believe or accept what other say.

Here\'s a depressing thought - lol. Not that I agree with it - \'Don\'t worry; when one door in life closes, another one slams in your face!\' heehee.

I’ve read it twice and see the “why” as the vehicle that conveys a condition of unending and at this point and unsolveable pain. No matter my urge to encourage , there in does not allow any question of veracity though one may debate each and all stated by you stands with a credence that stands within you , except for one line , where the safety and assuredness thst backs each line proclaimed , does not extend. And my smile of new hope that I can legitimately ask you to join is new hope and change can possibly be linked and blossom from a line that is conjecture. Just conjecture. Not rooted like every other lamenting phrase.
“Why am I screaming,
knowing none would heed my silent plea”, That’s the point we rescue you. Despite what I’m sure is a solid honest belief on your part I must point out to you, You do not know absolutely , that noone , that none would come to rescue. I. Profer that is where Hope lies. I certainly would come and I’m sure many others who’ve read and feeling entwined in your lament would break down Walls to come to help. There is no absolute of this NONE , here there is a hope, there, there is a place you can re-adjust one single thought and create yourself the blessing of one moment of hope that my darling may grow until it’s all around and I feel that is what will happen. God bless you.

There is without any doubt, a great sadness woven throughout this poem Cloie ..

I sincerely hope that it reflects your poetic creativity and is not in any way autobiographical ..

Remember, there is a light at the end of every tunnel .. One just has to look long enough to find it .. AGT\'s Neville

There will be no stronger bond than what a mother and child will have. Even if the words sting. Because actions are louder than the words that we say.

Accidental Poet said:

Well Cloie, you\'ve just penned a poem of mine and I\'m certain many other lives. I grew up as you, not knowing what it was I wanted to do in life. All I did know was I wanted to work, but nothing really jumped out at me when I was younger. I think It had a lot to do with me never really knowing that I could do whatever I wanted to do. First of all, you\'re here on MPS doing a wonderful job of writing poetry. That, is one calling in your life that you have recognized and are a poet! As far as anything else you may want to do, think about the many different occupation that you see people doing all around you. If any of those appeal to you and you can see yourself doing it, then look into it further. While in my mid-forties I realized that I like big trucks and that I\'d like to drive them. I\'m retired now at 67, but I wish I\'d realized my dream sooner than I did. Good luck to you Cloie, I know you get it figured out soon. Believe in yourself! 😉👍

Reminds me of a certain Billie Eilish song. I like the way the words seem to just fall into place at certain points. \"A star kid adrift, in the cosmos, a soul.\" Stellar line.

Glimmers in the Dark

A great contrast is shown here. Light could be knowledge and dark ignorance, this is a masonic element where the east is equated with light and West with death while the north is the place of ignorance and yet from it knowledge comes. All things have their opposite. There is comfort in ignorance as the old saying goes Ignorance is bliss. But literally I too find comfort in the dark. Lovely
