Let It Be, Without Meaning

I passed a house in a darkened space A number flew before my face I saw an elephant on a car A man with an "L" shaped scar I found a baby lying upside down Bugs and spiders eating together on the ground A plane bounced on barn roof A horse limped with a wagon attached to its hoof ...I'm weird Voices are shrill and thick in my ear A presence of evil is drawing near A little girl is skipping rope on the lawn A bear growled loudly, then was gone A Ferris wheel rolls round and round A kitten in a pool is trying not to drown The highway of silver lines the barren land A crowd watches the marching band ...I'm not relevant Emerald green uniforms hug the armed soldiers Blood red balloons celebrate the drinkers of Folgers Baby blue shoes enfold the new tiny feet Pink poppies line the banks of the creek Fifty four houses all in a row Ninety eight graves create a flow Sixteen schools of thought on life One hundred and one ideals of combating strife ...How shall I mean??? Written by Trudy Schrader on 05-02-2018 Note: What is life without meaning? What would happen if we allowed circumstances, places, people, events to be what they are, where they are without assigning "meaning?" I believe we would experience life anew, fresh, every moment of every day, and that kind of life is worth living :)
