This Little Thing

This little thing,
larger than life,
the gracious pursuivant of journey
with quirks on its gait.

This little thing,
which one believes, in doubt
That find no meaning
when no meaning sprout

Which grip a tree
that seek the sun
emaciate on mud,
nurtured on fertile ground.

Leading to somewhere
tell the right way
If in itself is right
your way's recalescent light

It'll tell what's yes or not
The two will lead you through
And will always make you think you're right
Philosophy, so little, I wonder what it might.

Everyone of us has this little thing!

"And will always make you think you're right
Philosophy, so little, I wonder what it might. "

I really liked it! :) Especially the last line...
"Philosophy, so little, I wonder what it might."
I know; I rewrote it because I liked it that much. :)

Truly stated... there's always that little thing that compels us... which at the end may prove to be much larger than we imagine. Nicely written...

the answer that is as plain as the nose on our face and as out of reach as the blue sky.

The little things mean a lot in the end. Th hugs from a mother. A kiss from your child good bye. I like the feel and emotion in your words. The poem is very good.

Why did you abandon the refrain mid-way? I can imagine how good it'd been with the refrain on till the end of the poem. I loved the pondering "Philosophy, so little, I wonder what it might." :) Mark my words, you're gonna be a famous writer in here real soon (Lol, I don't know if I'm famous enough to say that :P).

Anyways, well done. Just see if you can edit it and add the refrain 'This little thing' in all the stanzas. Don't doubt, it sure will add to the poem. Tell me if you do so.

Keep writing.
