The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Head Space

Whole little worlds  
All in one place  
Some taking place sporadically  
Others simultaneously  
Some spin at neck-breaking speed  
And others turn with motion
Almost imperceptible  
But they're there  
Whole little worlds  
All in one place  

Each content  
With its own erroneous sense    
of self-imposed isolation  
Ignorant to the burden of their presence  
On other worlds now rendered barren  
Travelling the true path of isolation  
Their peaceful existence  
Threatened.  
Whole little worlds  
All in one place  

Fighting to be the only one  

- that's what I get,  
for taking the bus.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
