Large is the world
full of wonder
high enshrouded
Lost to many

Small is the world
matchbox thin
wonder on in and
you may never wander out

flat is the world
my reflection lives in
where music lives
where we live in sin

Round is the world
Full and artistic
Painting the picture
in words of a mystic

Soft is the world
Sand in the desert
Play in the waves
and dolphins majestic

Hard is the world
of stone and cold
Concrete jungle
in which i bungle

Gone is the world
lost now forever
I am at peace still
icey white pallour
< !signature-->

 Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace,
of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd

Interesting Walter but are you saying you are at peace, icy white pallour like the living dead???  Just verify that for me will you?

good job indeed

Its a way of looking at the world
and life or more accurately several ways to look at the world

The only verse without a 'reflection' is the final one as in every view this only happens once and is universal (enough of a clue?)

The lines "wonder on in and
           you may never wander out"
was the wonder and wander intended because that was magnificent!!!  This was a thinkers piece...my favorite kind
