The Eternal Miracle of a Poet

Teddy.15

 

Isn't it just so poetic

that we live and then we die?

we strive for happiness

and a reason why?

yet when times are joyful

in one single moment

they can turn dark

and then from out of nowhere

the darkness turns into light

from just a single spark 

isn't it ironic that music is unseen?

and our hearing notes on deaf ears

our emotions gifting tears

and thus the beauty of the seasons

as we look out of the window fair

to see the blurs of the great oak tree

that leave nothing but branches bare

walking up the path so frail

wondering where our lives have gone?

wandering where all the poet's lines end up?

and if we'll leave our poetic songs?

    Easy Fave Teddy, liked as well... also observed that all these reach us via some sense, be it hearing or seeing, etc... and the thought of being without our senses was a brutal reality check. My latest post is about walking and I realised that not everyone does walk by choice of by circumstance. Ah well... I've begun to ramble on... 🙏🏻🕊️

        My poems are held hard copy in several albums - I often wonder what my successors will make of them. Probably think I'm a tad eccentric - wonder if they'll boast about their weird ancestor - great write by the way.

          Ah the purpose of life my poetic friend. Lovely verse in this poem floats me down stream as a leaf carried on currents of meter and rhym to end up in the pond of meaning which is deeper than it appears. Many reflections on this pond. Beautiful!
