Check For Updates

Check For Updates

A Poem by Allen Smuckler
"

...we all search in our own way...

"

                                         





















 

Check for updates and

look beyond what is real.

Discover those alone

in thought and

imagine

the unimaginable.

Check for updates while

above the heights

of tomorrow and

wonder

the unbelievable,

accomplish

the impossible.

Check for updates but

process the

unexplainable and

reach

outside the limits.

Create

and become

what was never

conceived.

We must always be

the keepers of the keys,

and remember to

check for updates…

I love the check of updates. We need to check on our family and friends but also we need to update ourselves from time to time as well. I love the way you worded this poem.

Good poem! Unique use of the phrase "check for updates" to remind us to reach for something beyond ourselves. Although I must ask what the purpose of the Gorilla is?

What wise advice! Life's to be lived and all it contains to be seen and wherever possible, studied, understood but, if not the latter- at least accepted for what it is. Nothing's too large or to small to observe, we learn purely by acknowledging presence. To live totally our eyes and minds should remain open from whatever and whichever perspective, live life, think it, think of it.. use it to grow.

Maybe i'm just a little right, if not - apologies because I'll still continue to mull over your words.

we do all search our own way and hold the key...this way a unique and creative way to get your message across...nicely done.

I like this very much. Very staccato flow to it. It hammers out like punches in places. I love the moral responsibility you allude to in the underlining message. Nice piece.

"Check for Updates"
Do I take that to mean that you alone are responsible for your tomorrows, and the only way to do that effectively is to be on your guard, and be certain that yesterday's actions are suited to today's circumstances, then, being ready (AND willing) to change whatever you must?
A very thought provoking write, my friend!

I love it...nice wisdom and words here...the sense of looking at much more than is apparent and explore the mind and soul... Brilliant :)

Unique title and way to say we should always question..move forward with curiosity and intrigue..mark our own path so to speak...we hold the key inside of us..beautifully conveyed love! xx
