I awakened to this thought

So called loneliness
is the disconnection between one
and one's significance

So called completeness
is the realization that
however trivial, however invisible,
each one IS significant

Experience,
but do not be framed by experiences

Feel,
but do not be caged by feelings

Desire,
but do not be consumed by desires

Please let me know how you feel when reading this. Thank you.

Balance cannot always be achieved. Perhaps to be awakened is to realize risk and hope...an unveiling indeed.

Thank you, oldhippie and pkh. :-)

And thank you CyPoet, I do feel jaded from time to time. But I always try to pick myself up.

I agree with you Sharris, balance is hard. giving and receiving, taking risk and being careful...

Thank you all for your encouragement. Hugs :-)

Can I really see
----------

Can I really see
Eyes
baptized with the water of stereotypical beauty
Mind
nourished with media-cultivated perception

Can I really look
past the intoxicating beauty
into the realm of divine soulfulness

Can I
Can I
Really see

Help me refine it, please slaphead

Sounds fine as is. Sometimes the best work seems unfinished to the creator.

This piece begs the reader to become introspective. Its simplicity is what draws one to understand the questioning of the self's soul.

I just read them if they have meaning to me in any way. I feel the poem has merit to me.
So thank you for your thoughts.

Significance in triviality

------------

I am a grain of sand
There are so many like me
If I am gone
no one will miss me
Yet, without me
the beach is never the same

I am a feather of the wings
My existence helps the bird soar
Even I'm lost during a journey
my contribution can never be ignored

------------

This forum is really supportive.

Again, many thanks to those who are willing to comment on this, approval or critics. Wish you all have a nice day. flowerforyou
