Dim -- Does It Matter

~ DIM the world~ Does it weigh --- Does it matter When your world comes crashing down DIM EVERY THING AROUND DIM WHEN DRY Does it weigh --- Does it matter Hear a secret, silent sound Keep your finger on your lips Keep your feet firmly on the ground Not allowing a single word to slip Shhh! Does it weigh --- Does it matter When no one cares, no one's around Don't tell a soul Don't live to regret Stop before emotions hit Soon you will realize All the feelings All the thoughts Are for nothing Sit down, relax Sing a song DIM YOUR LIGHTS, Hear the soft music playing Ask yourself what is amiss Ask yourself does it matter when things turn happy? Leading to future sorrow Does it weigh --- Does it matter Open doors and closing doors DIM YOUR EYES Darkness shadows all around No one hears my laughing cries Does it weigh --- Does it matter Without asking why Hate yourself, become sadder Does it weigh --- Does it matter Looks come and pass DIM AND COLD No one to hold Does it matter We all live, we all die Leaving hearts all broken --- Shattered Don't know your way back home Does it weigh --- Does it matter When you experience it all, and don't like to pay Does it weigh --- Does it matter If the life one should exist, Is not lived the way life should be endured. Does it weigh --- Does it matter Reviving a new way to survive Dimming the days of our lives By; PD

it seems to me, that you when in trouble, dim the light and face it head on, no wonder you win so many battles, those of life...

Last stanza...when you have it all...don't like to give...I would guess that person has things and money but no love and is very unhappy...Keep the thoughts flowing..Sara

Gosh, P.D. It's kind of depressing. But still, I take it that we make the best of what we have, even if it's not the life we wanted. HOpe i got that right. I enjoyed reading this one. Great final stanza, in the end, we all grow dim! (some much dimmer, sadly) Keep up the poetry!! Luv, andrea

I believe that this write here is one of your best, PD!!! Sometimes we are too worried about everything so that D.I.M. would apply! Perfect! And thank you for your friendly comments...Gert

I love the entire concept and images. Everyone has those moments in life, as you say, so why not stop and realize that in the end it D.I.M. Thanks for reminding me that there are times when D.I.M. just has to apply. Great write. Dan C

DIM your lights,to have more time to think can be one of the best things you ever did in moments like these.people realize it makes a huge difference in future time if they didn't in the past.so reviving, is always the way to go to live on.i love this.it's kind to know you are interested about more of my spirit mother because it's so touching it warms my heart, poet friend. have a great night P.D.! -Always&Forever Lynette

PD, I liked the first two verses very much, but you left me a little on the last two. I do like the way you brought up opposing views on the same subject though. I liked the style of this poem. rgds Charles
