Fault Found Without Mention

Lost in reasons I spoke without thinking, sometimes we cannot see

Those waves we want to believe, for darkness all around

Corners of the universe are not known at birth

And the world refuses to give up space

For all your name surrounds

Maybe if we just sighed for one second instead of crying for a new life

What seems to be disabling could remake the bed we made

I thought I was painting a heaven into our world 

One that could hold away every hurt

At least make bruises fade

Inside of shells we stand on hills and look up to the heavens above

Wondering if our destiny ripples as each day breaks anew

Yet we love just the same despite the inevitability

That suddenly shouts from every doorway

We afforded to walk through

Lost in reasons I spoke without thinking, sometimes we cannot see

The battles that laugh nervously for a bit of our attention

Corners of the universe are not known at birth

Yet the stars in our eyes can be infinite

In fault found without mention

Wow, this is such a soulful poem which oozes with hopfulness and light. The lines, "Maybe if we just sighed for one second instead of crying for a new life
What seems to be disabling could remake the bed we made", medicine for my soul, and, "Corners of the universe are not known at birth Yet the stars in our eyes can be infinite", fills me with hope. Inspiring poem!

Really gives us something to think about. Often we find fault with so many things in this life and wish we could see if the grass was greener on the other side of the fence. Then we find out otherwise at times.

You may be one of the wisest people I've ever met. This is outstanding and breathtaking.

Very beautifully written, Neva. I know that I'm using a cliche here, but this really was written with a grain of truth in it. It talks about life, taking things for granted, the beauty of the world, and so much more. Knowing you, I'm not surprised that this poem is the way it is. You somehow, some WAY, are able to incorporate so many themes into just one poem. For that, I applaud you!

Amazing & powerful write, full of emotions.
very well written Neva.

"The battles that laugh nervously for a bit of our attention"...sounding like a gong in an empty temple in my mind, Neva. When you write with that subtle hint of bitterness, it contrasts nicely with the sweetness of your images. Only your usual superb.

[Art Sun]

so many different emotions and visuals that you express within your poem Neva...whether we look internally or seek destiny they are all embedded within the mind and Soul...nice work
