Two Worlds

Two Worlds

There are two worlds I live in
Side by side… living and breathing
One often seen whilst the other only seem
Do they see what I see deem believing?

I do see the conditions living the real
I do see my imagined world living amongst
I do see the conditioned living having to deal
And I do imagine to have everything and nothing to want

Nothing last like all living things
In my lifetime… I don’t think we are taught right
To be instilled with achievements and means
Life is nothing more but a being that might

To be one in a population… what is new?
To be no one in a population… do we shy?
Living in reality… what’s the given cue?
Living in dreams… will realities’ die?

I chose my own side of the world to live in
Living and breathing… imagining and dreaming
What only seem has become what I have seen
Because in my world, I see my dreams worth believing

Yehoshua Yochanan Date: 10/18/2023 8:02:00 AM I really love this Poem! This is exactly what I feel everyday. I contemplate reality and I see comfort in the worlds inside my mind. The way you write your poem, the words used, and the way you construct your sentences are exactly the type of poetry that I find beautiful. Every line in your poem is like an independent poem of its own, its like your poem is a riddle. I aspire to write like this. I'll be following you and read your poems. I really like it!

Perhaps like a question with never the answer. :)
