THINGS

I am unbalanced by things,
like clouds in a blue sky,
Or by the way a bird sings,
I am amazed by the simplicity of things,
Like chimes fastened on strings,
By the smell of a rose and how it's beauty stings,
I believe in many things,
Each man an equal and not one a king
A child smiling on a swing,
the joy and happiness it brings
I am very private about things,
like my relationships,

fleeting wedding rings
or how the balance of love swings
I am open minded about things

like the puppets strings,

and the sadness poverty brings

I am conscious of many things...

You know how sometimes you can read something and you "hear" the person actually saying the words even though you have never seen or actually heard the person? I "heard" what I imagine is your voice on this one, that's when I know I have come across a great piece of writing because it seeps in and I can feel it, hear it, relate to it. Amazing :)

Sometimes I do believe a blind man can see things much better than those who are not... but you are like a blind man my friend you do see and appreciate what many others do not. great words from a great writer

A very nice poem. A wise person can see the beauty in all things. Respect the private life of others. I like the complete poem. Can learn how to see life in your amazing words. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

This poem's simplicity makes its truths impossible to miss. I like the way you switched from natural phenomena to specific human acts. Breaking in down as distractions and beliefs was genius. The third, open mindedness, reveals the doorway to the realizations we now know you are conscious of... Well done.
