The.....

Somewhere between insanity and perfection
Lies the truth
The wise look inwards
The shallow skirt over the surface of what’s real
The fool pretends it just isn't happening
The addict reaches for another escape
for they don't want to understand their painful existence
The lovers wrap themselves in the warmth
of another orgasmic moment
The businessman counts figures 
Pretending his money can bring  happiness
as he looses the will to go on
The homeless look for a box
A home for the night
a doorway to a new dimension
which house dwellers will never quite touch upon
The small child looks out of their window at all that awaits them
And snuggles back under the covers calling mother to tuck them in
Another small child in another street has no sheets,
no mother and snuggles down to
wait for the nightmare once more to begin
In a hospitol bed your mother lies sleeping
dementia riddles her mind
life remembered in scenes of misunderstanding
and a misty haze
The nurse works long hours
angel to others she cant stand that
she sleeps alone each night
The man takes his final breathe and smiles
The journey has been oh so long
The pain of cancer eating the flesh
which clothed his soul
Thank god this is over
now to find what lies beyond the veil
Between moments of ecstasy and hell
There is a thin line which separates us all
Somewhere between insanity and perfection
Lies the truth

Must say this is indeed an interesting piece, love the way so many differnet issues are tackled to show the depth of perceptions in the search of happiness. I love the ending and have to agree as it sounds perfectly plausible. Keep em' coming

People look for happiness in the oddest places, be it money,inflated ego or material worth when essentially the key is kept within us all, we just have to look a bit deeper.Brilliant write Pebs x
