All

Forgive me these ramblings if you don't follow them well.

When will the world end?

I don't really care at all

I want you to see, friend

That what we build here,

That is worth holding onto...

To me it is abundantly clear

Will not slip away into space

As will the physical objects,

On which import we place,

Denying the truer world

 

Who created us, our world?

One need not know at all

More urgent questions swirl

In a part of the mind that

We may not think we know,

Using an unreal measurement

For things we can't grasp now,

Because we have forgotten,

Forgotten the why and how

Denying the deeper truth

 

What can we call the truth?

For all seems lost in the lines

We write and read to soothe,

As questions constantly arise,

And the truth is relative

Until, that is, a body dies

Becoming spirit, one is free

To see what was important

Was not really real reality...

But what we made of it

 

What can we make of all this?

We can make a reason here

With something simple as a wish

Each thought, dream and plea

Every thing we learn and do

Grains of sand they are but we

Can build one hell of a house

With these thoughts that'll last

Long after the body fades out

Our collective souls, learning

 

Together, we make a difference

And when the world ends

When we are no more

You won't have eyes

To see it with

Yet will see

All

Author's Note

Forgive this ramble if you can't follow it. If you can, more power to you.

Reviews

[Emily Elizabeth]

Again, another professional, eloquent and graceful piece, filled with complex philosophy and a deep understanding of most of that around you that others do not seem to possess. You've written this in a lovely, flowing way, it really does create the image of a train of thought. It is a bit hard to follow, but it doesn't ramble on at all, merely demonstrates your ability to present your ideas to the reader in an interesting and well-thought-out way!

Thanks very much for sharing this, it really made me think.

Who knows what will happen in the very very end?

I like this...a very elegantly presented thought piece. I enjoyed your intricate rhyming scheme, as well. You certainly address deep, existential issues in your work...I will make sure I never stop by without being prepared to ponder. :)
