Best Big Picture Poems

When standing in a foreign meadow
facing the end of someone’s rifle,
don’t think of me or your England
there is a bullet with a name on
made with pride; made with skill to kill; you,
and when you have indeed fallen
an unknown stranger will celebrate with joy
just another mother,...

" THE BIG PICTURE "

There is a big story that is yet to be told
But as we journey through life, they begin to unfold
Sweet things of life I see in the big picture
That trills my soul and stands me up to face the future

Sometime ago,...

The big Picture,
Can you see it yet?
No not that one it, it is too small,
Not that either,
It is only a mirror mage of yourself.

Still cannot see it?
Then you are not thinking big enough,
Searching wide enough,
Or long enough. 

Try thinking of something big,
Bigger than you,
Bigger than...

When the dots won't joint together
And the planets don't always align
When circumstance lets you down
Keep your eye on the big picture.

When people disappoint 
And there's a gap between actions and words
When weakness creeps above the hidden surface
Keep your eye on the big picture.

When the black...

Miniature beginnings are the scaffolding to mightiness
      Just a pinch of yeast puffs up the dough
      And little stars still light up big skies
  
       No matter where...

Early 7:30  Friday morning most
Of the family were in their extravagant 
Dreams. All was well or so it seems.
Moderate rustling. Somebody was
Woke. Molly was first on display of
The day. Molly showered, the kids.
Swarmed the kitchen and their gameroom.

In the big picture,
nothing we do right now 
matters.
It never did.
I guess that’s the way of life.
Ten years from now 
no one will remember how you lost 
your ten dollars
or who was your first love.
Ten decades from now, 
No one will remember you.
We’re all like...

Settles arcane dust upon what we possessed, 
Putting to bed with frosted sleep the wish fulfilment lure; 
Cryogenic breeds the process, craft of freezing living tissue, 
Anticipates the thaw, regenerates the pale obscure. 
Vision alights, hawk-like, homing the farthest hills 
Where sunspots dance a wistful...

Bogged down in the details,
  truth comes undone

Swimming through the corn flakes,
  milk overruns 

Looking at the forest,
  seeing just trees

Pieces micromanaged,

I
We recall rulers like Nero,  Pol Pot, Donald Trump
Take sides, revise history, a recent election
While among voids lie shocking Light Years
40 billion more suns at cosmic center, Plain -
That halves the universe, "Galactic Plain" -
As science gives theories: Bang, Cycles, Inflation
Poor planet earth is...

I think of my writing putting thoughts to a page.
Lately they free me and release my soul from a cage.
I hope that all the changes can continue to be.
For it uproots my perspectives and the way I see.

I start to feel sorrow when I visit...

Now
I’m left 
believing;
Something’s bigger 
then what I can see;
Maybe I’m here for more,
now I sense the big picture;
Two halves are now a perfect fit;
Sucked into a voracious black hole,
gazing upon the cosmos in your eyes....

The balloons went up to the blue sky in the air
And I just knew my prayers would be answered from there
Quickly floating above the tree tops in a wind so strong,
Even with all the hurdles, it felt nothing could go wrong
Across the mountains and valley...

The nematode, only oms
And then of course, noms
And munches, 
without, really 
munching much at all.
No teeth.

Ah.
To move in the mulch.
a thicket
of touch
not really 
knowing where or,
how
you are.
A siphon of silicone
sipping at soil
silent and secure.

But,
at any sudden moment,
you might get 
all 
your hearts broken, (five, good...
