What is a Poem?

Suddenly I manifest in the world
of ‘10,000 joys & 10,000 sorrows.’ 
Strange parents, friends & acquaintances, 
all with unique perspectives, 
yet one common language – 
small-talk: 
‘Hi, how are you? Nice day isn’t it?’

What is a poem?

What is a life?

One of an infinite number of never-to-be-repeated moments

  1. "What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves?" Thomas Merton Wow that's profound. We search for our true selves as we begin to age because we are lost.....we've drifted away (through conditioning and development of an EGO) from our true selves......our souls. We all seek the great home coming if we are aware.
