Asking About...
the poison of life,
making for the strife,
thoughts from the unknown,
weeds surrounding a seed sown...
each person different,
a mind for rent,
battling the unseen,
searching love serene...
...
how far from the mind; I must go,
to a realm I yet not know,
tasting each bitter fruit of the land,
trying to just understand...
simplicity; if common sense is used,
street smart abused, many confused,
as I look into the heart,
differently all are torn apart...
some born with riches,
other digging ditches,
many starving,
a hearts carving...
cut by lifes knife,
poisoned with its strife,
suffering in pain,
what must a soul gain...?
to be true,
to forgive,
each day due,
hard it can be to live...
hope;
a bridge connecting faith to love,
over troubled waters,
below all the above,
knowing what really matters...
