Weltanschauung

wayra An inheritance makes my life easy to live. Headaches?  heartaches?  no hindrance no hedge, I have money. I long to know logic in life. A door falls open Entering I find the best of friends, food, festivity... lasting until midnight. alarms alert me to wake up. A second door, closed, boasts the note, "key is within". noticing no knob, I sense - there is no keyhole here? and muse upon this mystery. The third door is home where I rest without relief. Wealth, words, Weltanschauung keep up their steady pace provoking my peace with purpose. Determined to know the key to that second door, I crave, I coax, I call on experts within my realm. My money soon meets its Master. Beating on that door wrestling with my God. Erelong hidden latch loosens missing pieces float free golden keys to liberty. Author’s Notes: Weltanschauung [velt-ahn-shou-oo-ng] noun German. a comprehensive conception or image of the universe and of humanity's relation to it, a world view.

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on my entry (and edits). I liked the form and wrote the piece before I realized nette only wanted two stanzas.

Yes, this one will look even better when you have added to it because I can sense it needs to say more. good one. What does Weltanschauung mean??
