Measureless

A life in prose... in a world of rhymes…

A golden ingot …in a satchel of dimes…

I had fallen for the right illusion

Cause for my insanity, reality’s the intrusion…

 

Leaving for the great wide open planes

For the secret meaning this life obtains…

Into the wind, hope is a passive activity

Embroidering all the patterns of the relativity…

 

My heart starts to wonder once in a while

If it’s legal to be as doubtful as docile…

Cause once accepting our limits, we go beyond them

That passive activity becoming our silent anthem…

 

A guilty heart is silent.

A joyful one has tones to say…

A pacified heart is smiling

At the meteors that come our way…

it's a good poem.....
A life in prose... in a world of rhymes… that's what it brings closer to heart, that's what brings it close to heart.

I can identify with the idea of not being confined, defined, tied up..freedom at any cost-- all the way to the skies. ;)

most fear the meteors but if the heart is joyful, at peace....let them come.

i like the different "plane" idea...the wide open spaces of illusion.

being a poet, i often think the figurative is much better than the literal meaning of things...and wish we could just live in a figurative world.

I understand that feeling very well Jacob.....cannot keep the counting of how many times i wished to trade my reality for that world i have in my mind......thank you for stopping by.

Beautiful one, those little things in life have such great value.

The worlds that exist in books and that we create ourselves are so much more inviting than the reality which constantly butts in to demand our presence. We could gladly day dream our lives away - all those possibilities, without restriction. Everything perfect.
"A gold ingot - in a satchel of dimes" - total awareness of how lucky we are to have the gift of expressing ourselves through writing
Hope the light in the darkness.

There is so much in your writing - so many 'Easter Eggs' to be discovered. I could stay with one all day.
Thanks for sharing Ana

Thank you for the review and for sharing the opinion ANTO. We are lucky indeed, i guess we just forget how much......but you know what they say - without the night we would never see the stars...
