To You (An Original Poem)
To poetry
To writers and readers alike
To literature
To you
Your wand is your instrument
Each word is a note
Each note inexhaustible
The way a word is used controls its meaning
Connotation
Your mind can create endless avenues
It can expand to each corner of thought
Then further
Do not allow it to however
Do not be obsessed with knowledge
Look at simple life
Gardens, picnics, holidays,
Hiking, swimming
We all want to feel large
For in the universe of stars we feel small
To accept your size is to gain strength
Be loved by those you love
Not others
Make a large difference in the lives of few
Do not spread love thin with many
Those close to you carry you
Past this life
They comfort your soul for eternity
So simple in words
But to apply in life is difficult
Loved ones are pre-determined
Your family is your name
The roots of your branch of life
Your source of life
But what of choice?
Is man not like the leaf of a tree?
Can a flower come from poisoned soil?
Is choice a factor?
To be noble
To be right
To be good
Despite memories
Despite upbringing
Despite influence
What makes you-you?
"To accept your size is to gain strength." This resonates so deeply…honestly I feel like I was trying to find those words today. Thank you for this..beautiful!
