Pink eye

In motion, we are unaware
Peaceful, drowsy; without a care
Life is not just a spark in space
Or episodes, lacking will & grace
Why don't we try to be the present in how we present ourselves?
All focus on is being the subject of the next post by someone else
How little we all try: the existential equivalent of a worldwide web of pink eye
I may be controversial; perhaps a bit mundane
But it's better than letting this disease mess with every neuron of my brain
Just as pointless as a lifeguard tower would be, stood sentry above, a dried up well
I, no, I will not surrender to this barren wasteland of an unfocused artificial hell
So search for all your lifestyle ruins within all their trapped doors
Guaranteed behind one; you'll find what you were put here for

I have struggled with existentialism, but I have to believe we are one, each thing matters for something else, we are connected to a Master working through us....and like Anaya said, you are not mundane! :) <3 A privilege to read- inspiring... Hugs, have a great evening!

Ah, existentialism. The company of life's most interesting value proposition. Care to take a guess at how much I value the company provided by your life? My true happiness was found the day that I realized that anyone can self therapetize. With absolute reverence A.S.

Controversial, a bit mundane not you A.S. The way you see, is what I've seen and mulled through. Pink eye title well caught my eye and glad it did. Loved it's use as metaphors of diseased participants. I'm faving ~

First of all, it's very good to hear from you! Thank you for the very warming compliments. I may not go down as a fantastic poet but apparently my gift to poetry is being able to pick catchy titles lol. I do feel at times from our interactions. It's like our souls have cross paths, perhaps in a different life. I greatly appreciate the favorite with all my heart! A.S.
