When the universal song sings to me,
cosmic waves washing over and through,
I know I’m just a speck, a spark,
nothing special, nothing new.
Schopenhauer blackens my soul,
trying for lightness I move the day,
time is a flat circle from a view,
yet that’s just askew, another way.
Oh, how we treasure so, these little things,
these endearments held so close,
when my mind gets in the way,
I lose myself, become morose.
Then a bird will sing it’s heaven song,
and life looks brighter for the trill,
and yes, a mote in space we might be,
but our special loves matter still. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 138 [topic] => 21 [informant] => invierno [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

I so enjoy a good rhyme scheme. This is as musical as a conversation with a friend on the front porch. I especially like AND LIFE LOOKS BRIGHTER FOR THE TRILL..and TIME IS A FLAT CIRCLE FROM A VIEW..
Philosophy always hopeful, and life renewed by the sound of a weightless musician in a tree.
Simply magical, dont you think?

Compact and concise but with no harm to the flow.
Many messages here to explore. Wonderfully intense with a sprinkle or two of nature. Very humbling write.

Gave me goosebumps inside and out, this one. So warm and honest, simply //human//. Yep, love is the panacea to existential angst.

Back for another read,

Excellent! A life lesson put into an enchanting bit of writing. I agree, this was a goosebumps galore read for me.

Very well done

Barkeep! Slide a cold one to my friend

some nice imagery in here. I like this part best:

cosmic waves washing over and through,
I know I’m just a speck, a spark,
nothing special, nothing new.
