Metaphorically Speaking

Accidental Poet

 

Ahh, but to express a thought

A conveyance of emotion

Not just of simple words

But of a lyrical devotion

 

A relationship of faith and fact

A team effort you understand

Between what’s in your heart

And physically at hand

 

The sun rises

To start a new day

As in your soul a page turns

Your life has found a new way

 

Dark clouds will disperse

Giving way to clear skies

And troubles have taken leave

To ease your saddened eyes

 

So much can be said

Of this and that

Just depends on your viewpoint

And what you’re looking at

 

The glass can be half empty

While being half full

Such as your unfulfilled life

Just blink, and see it so beautiful

 

Happiness you’ll find

If it’s what you’re seeking

Look for the smile in your heart

Metaphorically speaking

          A fine write AP. There's other metaphors in this too, as well as in the last few lines! Some metaphors in life we seem to hate, some we seem to love. Similarly, some phrases: e.g. people who say 'In this moment of time' drives some people mad!

                • myself and me

                  Full of life philosophy in this "Metaphorically speaking".

                  "So much can be said
                  Of this and that
                  Just depends on your viewpoint
                  And what you’re looking at"
                  Love this.

                  • Accidental Poet

                    Wonderful poem, AP. Commenting late, everything I might have said, has been said.
                    Love the first stanza, feel that this is what we all aspire to on this site.

                    • Accidental Poet

                      Just goes to show we're all on the same wavelength. Thanks Fred. I appreciate your reading and compliment. ; )
