Under The Micrscope

True living is within the conflict

Under the microscope, life

Makes no sense to me

It’s when I step away

And observe from afar

 

Wayward, further and further

I gain all of its understanding

But, here I am no longer

Involving myself in the experiment

The journey's expanse is always seen clearer from the mountain than the plain.
The entirety of your very excellent poem speaks in great insight to me, Michael, admonishing us when life becomes too confusing, to step aside and rise above it all for a better look … brilliant!

Thank you most gratefully, My New Friend, for sharing a glimpse of your special brand of wisdom! ⁓ Richard : )

As I use a microscope frequently, I am aware of how easy it is to relate its view to the whole picture. But it is this isolated part that can reveal the unknown aspect. When this is discovered ,it is no longer an experiment, but a fact.

You're right and can work both ways. Here is was comparing to situations in life; in how sometimes when we're to close we lose perspective. Thanks for stopping by again.

Yes all microbes! Being a biology major I can definitely appreciate and relate to this!

True beauty is found in the facets of imperfections.

We are all just little microbes in the grand scheme after all...

Thanks for your comments Rita.

There is a great lesson to learn from this wise poem. We can see the true picture only when we are not emotionally involved.

[Michael G. Smith]
