how safe am i
in my little world
where belief
is part of me

how vulnerable
when i step outside
to gather acorns
from the tree

i wonder
if part of me
is writing epitaphs
silently

how safe am i
how vulnerable
i wonder
silently

WOW. these thoughts cross my mind alot

i wonder
if part of me
is writing epitaphs
silently

how safe am i
how vulnerable
i wonder
silently

the word fragile always seems to on the tip of tongue when writing. Where are we truely safe. Your poem made me want to curl up and hibernate.

excellent poem.

I think like Brian we all get these thoughts,and sometimes are afraid to step outside our own safe little world.

Brief but powerful.

I think we all get a little fearful when we step out of our comfort zone. Vulnerability is such a scary emotion.I hope you find the courage to overcome it.

More than thought provoking!  
This has a whole lot of deeper meaning, beautiful but short, dg!   As usual, of course...


Hope to see more that's this good (I don't think I'll be disappointed...)

Wow, dg!  This is a question I've been struggling with for a while now.  When your beliefs are challenged, you have the choice to hide behind them and not think about it (stay safe), or to examine them, and either make them stronger or change them (take a risk).  These are indeed deep thoughts.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

take each acorn you gather,
plant them deep, safely and with care,
they will grow strong and majestic,
with branches to shield you from the elements.
roots to hold you fast,
and a home to roost your dreams.
