Did you ever stop and wonder...

Did you ever stop and wonder...

A Poem by KWP
"

just a wee ditty pondering teeneee aspects of life...

"
Have you ever stopped to wonder,
Just how far you would have to run.
If you jumped upon a sunbeam,
Then headed for the sun.

Did you ever give much thought,
To rolling down that hill,
You know the one that Jack climbed,
Fetching water with young Jill.

Did you ever stop and ponder,
Why penguins don't have flight?
How are they to escape,
The Polar Bears at night?

And if you were a lady beetle,
Flying through the trees.
Would you prefer those colors,
To that of a bumble bee?

If you were a truth seeker
Would you bare a warriors heart?
To fight for ultimate goodness,
Right from the very start.

What if your lived your life
As an anonymous tree?
Big, small, old or tall,
Which would you prefer to be?

Can you even imagine
Travelling as a cloud,
Replenishing earth's cycle,
Round and round and round.

Did you ever stop to think,
Just where your rubbish goes?
Not giving it a second thought...
Perhaps it's time to know.

Can you imagine for an instant,
A quick life as a bubble,
Trying to just float away,
You bump and your'e in trouble.

Did you ever stop to think,
Is there some small thing you can change?
Just to see it out in the world,
More love in a rearrange.

Can you even bare to think,
If we had not invented fun,
We would all be a bunch of sad sacks,
All gloomy and all glum.

To me the cream upon the cake,
Is the fact that we invented money.
How bout I give you three loaves of bread,
In return for love and honey.

It is a funny little world,
We funny humans have created.
Remember it is with our thoughts,
That these connections are all related.

I only ask if you choose to think,
Ask if your intentions are real good,
Then all of us can start to feel -
Love the way we ought and should

thank you so much for reading Crystal .... so happy you enjoyed x x
Very profound piece. A lot of jewels of wisdom in this. As a lover of the rhyme, I enjoyed the rhythm. Definitely positive and full of thoughts we as humans bypass in our busy lives. I especially liked the reference to the invention of money and it's relation to our old barter system. Enjoyed!

Really enjoyed this on a lot. Such a beautiful flow and rhyme and some really great imagery.
Fantastic!

Love back at ya darlin'. :-)
In the writing by the name"Letters to a young poet number eight" by Rilke there is a fragment that asks How could we forget those ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races, the myths about dragons that at the last moment are transformed into princesses? I tink this writings as inviting as it is is reminding of the necessity to find imaginative thinking. To embrace cold thinking and warm it with a value added to it. To dig and bring back the desire and questions that are of child like nature becuase of their purity.

Let's try to imagine

Thankyou
