A WORLD AWAY ARE WE (An Original Poem)
Things that might have been
now might they never be?
What once we thought was Heaven sent,
now a world away are we.
In shiftless moods the fog descends,
fast lives lived, missed subtleties.
Do we understand or do we pretend,
when a world away are we?
Thoughts fracture by perception
leave us treasured shards of memories.
Reality’s masterpiece or just deception,
when a world away are we?
Life will grind us down to size
up until the very day
in an epiphany we realize
that we’re not a world away.

Thanks, @geke! I wrote this over twenty years ago, back when life wasn't quite as hectic.
Your original poem , although it has a deep connotative meaning, still it made me to reflect on positive side of life, sometimes ups and downs, however I came to think that life has many to offers. Thank you .
Very introspective post!
