Seeing the Wood From the Trees

An empty space,filled by light brings simplicity to life, the empty heart,fills with pain, cries out why,again,again, and still the emptiness remains; Simplicity forgotten in complexity will drown, darkness overwhelms the mind, despair see nought,with eyes blind; light fills up the empty space and illumes the vacant place, hope blots out disappointment as our emptiness relents. Singularity brings forth clarity on which imagination then flies free.

Good title for your poem, Brian. I try to stick to the simplicity side. Other wise I am always hunting for something I lost. God Bless, Cile

This is an excellent sonnet. I like the flow of the words and the message. It's interesting how some are unable to see the forest but for the tree. Great job! Joseph

This is so thought provoking and insightful....very wise observations in each line, Brian. One of the deeper poems I've read, and worth reading several times again. So Well done...~ Carrie

All great lines, especially, though; "Simplicity forgotten / in complexity will drown"
