Silly Fools

CONTEST:I have dipped my pen in the sublime, it is my gift to you… I have dipped my pen in the sublime, it is my gift to you… I walked a wall high across this world I looked down at the scuttering of life And mumbled what silly fools I strode down lovers lane Hands in my pocket I shook my head And whispered what silly fools I walked among the graves Stepping lightly over untouched flowers Admiring the waste Sneering what silly fools I walked the back alleys The lonely docks The busiest of streets I walked passed the crosses as they beckoned me in All the while seeing only silly fools But then I stepped into your garden And it was quicksand to my heart I tried to yell what a silly fool But my mouth would not work And then I finally realized what I had been searching for And so I pulled out my pen And wrote this gift to you ‘Love all thy have With thy whole heart What’s right in front of you Love it right from the start Cus you’ll wonder and search For things more precious then gold But by the time you find it you’ll be to old’ And as I wrote these last words I managed to say I have dipped my pen in the sublime, it is my gift to you… And I died Jeremy Moore

Congrats on this awesome win! For me, this poem is hope...someone who once viewed life a certain way...scoffed at the silly fools...and their heart was softened...although a bittersweet ending...to me..it's hope...love your style of writing as always...
