Could we be this? Could we be as mirrors standing empty before the other - Admiring the absence of our own reflections? Could we be as the moon? Whose image fades in stilled waters with the coming of the day. Or could we be as the water...still and silent in the presence of its lovers gaze? Could we be this? Would we recognize this love in lesser visions of ourselves? Do we need more? Could we be as the wind...content to kiss the ground in passing? Or would we be the earth...and cast ourselves in the tenderness of this brief caress? We could be all...and we could be nothing. Yet the questions always remain. Do we need answers? Or could we simply be...this? |

You never let thoughts lay on the simple surface, you go deep, and it never fails to be beautiful. Always getting me thinking m friend.  Instant karma's gonna get you. |

Ericc My vote goes for simply being "this", forget the questions....a fine poem in form and function... the images create thought in the readers mind, just like they should....ice |

We could be all...and we could be nothing. Yet the questions always remain. Do we need answers? Or could we simply be...this? Yes, Eric!! That's the answer........ "We could just simply be...this"!! Hugs Ethel |

 (smiles) Oh Eric, I don't believe there have to be any answers! (big hugggsssssss) That's just the problem with so many: they spend too much timne questioning and not enough time living, and I believe living pretty much gives answers away anyway that need not be examined! (sigh) God less You, sweet friend, I'm so happy to read your wonderful poetry again, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

My heart always opens wide to listen when I take in your beautiful words. Could we? Yes, we are nothing and everything, alternatively ... filling each other to the brim with love and beauty. It only takes an open heart ... with the magic you share, it is easy! Loving you, Margherita  |
