Alas

Alas! It's all too true that we get too caught up with material things and not with the things that should really matter in life! Thanks for sharing this poetic gem! Pandiya

This one hit hard Gerald! It is unfortunate that circumstances force some to just survive by the basic needs without thinking too much about their emotions but it is more unfortunate for those who have a lot and yet they fall short when it comes to love. Excellently penned!

so true with closed eyes great imagery too but sad thanks for comment to my work happy holidays

Alas to live, to love, to experience that which lies beyond. thank you for your comments on my writes. cheri

Grook!!! Still talking about names (^_^) this is a funny one for such a deep and interesting philosophical thought. I love short poems...perhaps because of my long name!? Btw, it is a poem in itself, ypu know: the whole means "This- seed'- that- has- been- blessed- with-the-power-of-LIFE/ is The -Princess-To-Rule-Qver-You/ And-now-she-is-married-to-my-son-the-one-blessed-by-BEAUTY"...Blessings to you too, dear poet friend , Hanitra

So true! We are all so concerned with money and the "finer things" in life. Yet, all we really need is love! A great message in this poem! Great work, Gerald!...Thank you for the nice comments. I really appreciate it!

So this is a Grook? I will have to look into this form once... Thank you for pointing out my slip up in that last poem. Greatly appreciated always. Write on! my friend...
