Notes About The Poem

A Time of Indifference

We saw and yet ignored
the evident mistake,
being indifferent 
or perhaps well mannered,
having nothing at stake.

We saw and yet ignored,
what the verse left unsaid;
thinking but not feeling,
captive to pace of life ~
sign of being ill-bred.

We saw and yet ignored
soft whispers beckoning,
for our soul’s not yet stirred
by love for love yearning,
till time of reckoning.

We saw and yet ignored
the cry for an embrace,
for heart’s not awakened
to pulsations of love,
we each imbibe as grace.

Alas, I feel so much like this poem. An indifferent attitude to life. Too much medication.

Once in the comfort zone, it is so easy to ignore. Interesting poetry, one for the readers active mind.
