Differences

As Space knows no true vacuum – (in a vast sense always exhibiting abundance of space) -- so near Nature, fills with infinite mystery, delights in difference though rudiments may compare no two blossoms exactly alike a slight, odd, curl in a petal shade or hue its own specific blend no twin with definitive blessing and sin unlike governments always attempting to lump pigeon-hole engraving community hallmarks on its peoples though they have individual hearts and individual souls --

we are all so individual like the rose and the carnation and the marigold, like the dog cat bird, etc, our souls have their own personal calligraphy, and we should always begin with acceptance of self and others, non judgement, and loving, thanks for sharing this important message Joe

Hey Joe.. The poem invites philosophical reflection on the nature of existence and the human condition. By highlighting the contrast between the natural world's celebration of diversity and human systems' efforts to standardize, the poet prompts readers to consider the value of individuality and the potential loss that comes from ignoring it. The nding leaves readers contemplating the importance of recognizing and valuing individual differences in all aspects of life.

Hi Si; thank you for deeply reading, and dissecting this work. As I have often said, I know nothing...my writing is also another way of inviting others, who are perhaps yet somewhat bewildered as I to join me with a word-candle in the labyrinth of human, poetic consciousness.

We are slaves to a corrupt administration. Do they tell you not to believe everything that's written in the news? Which is why I never read newspapers.

Yep. It's an Orwellian mess. Thank you, Victor.

Yep. There is more government control these days. I think people are now products. This is a good poem and a good wake up call.

I agree with your wise words, Joe. No two things in nature are identical, yet they coexist...why can't we humans? Much to ponder. Enjoyed your poem. Wishing you a pleasant evening, Sara

God's creation is of infinite variety and expanse...who are we to determine different? Thank you, Sara. Blessings.
