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 --

Mystic Rose Rose Date: 5/21/2024 3:54:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 5/22/2024 8:17:00 AM A Rose knows...thank you Vie/Rose -- blessings my friend.

Silent One Date: 5/21/2024 10:21:00 AM 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.

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.

Victor Buhagiar Date: 5/21/2024 2:53:00 AM 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. Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 5/21/2024 8:19:00 AM Yep. It's an Orwellian mess. Thank you, Victor.

Hilda Greenhough Date: 5/21/2024 12:27:00 AM 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.
