The World

The world is a world of me's somehow I can't get in; when I came a-calling the invitation was gone not the right suit, not the proper shoes...timing out of step, the welcome going out sounded good but the world is a world of me's a wall around each fortress the heart is a heart of me's universal up to a loving point a bell on the wall, a lock on the door~ Oh yes! us me's have an inviolate list of personal distance and space~ the heart is a heart of me's, a cap on the over-flowing reserves must be constants first personal fulfillment before the cause.... the world is world of good intentions...honorable mentions medallions and plaques cathedrals with their saints priest with shameful penance the world is a world is a world is our world.... The world is a world of infant hopes and dreams; trusting all to larger arms and lessons learned~ faith in homes with roofs that don't leak, and their gardens begging senses to come sit and meditate, on so many graces and blessings needing only minimal care best with less our interfering the world is a world of unlimited altruism, when shared fear, pain and suffering the world is less a world and more our own reflection...the world is the mirror image of the soul

Excellent ranting if that's what you want to call it , my friend. I was right with you until the words after the ... soup mail to explain. :-) Bill

Hi Bill; I am certain that I am wrong, or, at the least, mildly off about many things. We enlighten one another. I welcome that. Blessings my friend. Your poetic buddy, Joe.

The ending stanza spells the essence of your poem. Much depth you convey through these wisdom words, Joe.

Thank you, Vijay; we grow wise with experience...Ouch! And sometimes I have to hit myself in the head with a hammer several times. We have given lesser ego lots of power.

Hi Kim; thank you so much. Love your poetry. I think you are one of the best in the world today. Several other bests here on Soup also. Of course, I am no expert, and just my heartfelt feeling. Have a great day my friend!
