I sometimes fear to live life,
I fear of oeuvre, I fear of night,
I dread driving my car in daylight.
Lunacy, an ideology,
it strips us of our reality.
What is factual, what is fake,
It’s too much for my head to take.
And then it strikes me,
Reality.
The thing we forgot about,
The thing that we froze out.
The cosmos, the galaxy,
the sun, moon, stars, and seas.
It’s so elementary really, so easy to embrace,
We are drifting on a wild boulder in space.
But the globe is spinning
At a high rate of speed
We’re devoured by hate,
By fright and greed.
We strive to vie,
To be the best;
No one will stop us,
Survival upon request.
To desire the world,
It makes no sense,
What’s here and now,
Is much more immense.
Life’s not ’bout the
Hands we shake,
It’s all ‘bout the
Bonds we make.
It’s ascending to that
Higher state,
It’s benevolence we share,
We gravitate.
The incessant negativity,
We must rise above,
Because all we really crave
is Love.

I am envious of your talent, another wonderful Poem.
Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks Grannymar.
Don’t be envious of me. The pattern is all broken up and it makes no sense in the beginning, but I do like the ending. 
Thank you for being so kind. 
I really love this pome – it’s very grounding. We all need reminders of what our real priorities in life should be. Fair play, Jefferson
Oh yes! You speak the Truth, JD. Great poem, wonderful sentiments and thoughts. Well done!
Thanks ladies! I shall post poems more frequently in the future. Between photography, school, and work, I’ve had very little creative energy left for poems.
Thanks again everyone. I really appreciate the kind words.
“All we really crave is love.”
How true!
