Musings On "Being"

Bella Shepard

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.

                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.

                • Bella Shepard

                  You are the very kindest my friend, I have been delving a bit into oriental philosophy recently, and enjoying it immensely. Thank you!

                    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.

                    • Bella Shepard

                      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.

                        We do and that is why every day there is a new found memory and maybe if we are really lucky a poem. 🌹
