The thing about greed
It is never satisfied
We have to feed it
The thing about love
It’s a never ending spring
Keep drinking from it
The thing about life
We never understand it
Just keep living it

Yes, three conundrums for your consideration, like horse pills to swallow, where maybe in eternity we'll finally understand? Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy.
Thank you so much my friend, I always love to hear from you.
Hello, Bella,
Of greed, love and life - there something very oriental about this poem, something a Taoist priest might offer. The beauty of simplicity composed in three perceptive verses - to feed, to drink and to live. Excellent!
Fond regards,
Tony.
You are the very kindest my friend, I have been delving a bit into oriental philosophy recently, and enjoying it immensely. Thank you!
Fantastic
Thank you so much for reading, and for your encouragement!
I did a quiz - did I? 'Since when did anyone understand [insert name of person]?' Aww, why did about 5 million people write my name in?! lol.
Orchi, I'm surprised that 5 million people know your name. lol You take care, and take care of KP. Oh and give Fido a pat on the head for me. You know, maybe 5 million people know his name.
Yes lol, probably more famous than me! lol.
True words Bella.
