Far from the meadow where once there was love a gypsy ponders the state of this world where monsters appear in human disguise and lies have killed off the truth. Yet between the grey of human disgrace pockets of true blue can be seen and they draw me up and further up back into my core belief. But grey moves around all the time and encircles the blue until no way out and she wonders what happens to belief when evil takes over the sky. Perhaps it survives, perhaps it dies, or perhaps it merely smiles because evil will soon, very soon, disappear when the sun comes out. I wait for the sun although it’s not love in the absolute sense of the word but love like the sun has a purpose in life no evil can ever blot out. And when belief is back in the core and monsters and lies are fried by the sun there’ll be only love in deed and in word to make that gypsy say, “What a wonderful world”. Helen / 24 July 2017 |

“What a wonderful world” indeed, Helen. Very few of us can live with a constant dark cloud hovering above us. We seek the light and try to find a better day, lovers, peace of mind. And most of the time we find that beautiful light. Loved this indepth poem. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Thanks, LeeJ. I'm trying my best but sometimes my best just isn't good enough, you know. Sigh! Hugs. |

Beautifully written. Your poem describes well the current world's condition. We do find a much needed shimmering ray of hope in those who embrace love and truth, and wish the best for others. Thank you for doing your best to make this world a better place for others, even if you feel your best isn't good enough at times. |
