Reality - Who Are You

Reality: Who are you? Are you time? Are you a moment? Can you be heard? Can you even be uttered through a mere man's word? Can we take you and dwell on your timely existence? Or are you something that stays at a lengthy distance? Can you be grasped? Can you be taken deep within? Or can we sum you up in a word called sin? Can we make you what we want you to be? Can you be felt? Can you be touched? Or even seen? Are you something we can change? Can we curse you? Can we bless you? Till you're rearranged? Can we close our eyes and make you go away? Or do we just accept that you're here to stay? You've taken our hearts and you've gripped them with fear! Tell me reality... Why are you here? Are you something we're not to understand? But just to be used for God's own plan? Are you a space? A vacancy for God to fill? So He can place us... To use us for His own will? Oh Please! Oh Please! Hear our cry! Let us fellowship before we die! To know of your truth and your life... Your love... Your joy... Your sorrow... Your strife... Once we've tasted of your sweetness you will see... You will no longer be a mystery... Oh! Open our eyes so we can see... Your real true meaning... Reality... Written by: Teresa Trotter

Teresa, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
