. The planet is flat You froze on the verge A matter of fact Two abysses merge Two abysses claim And you comprehend That “up” is the same as “down” In the end You stay on your feet Still able to fight But ready to split The beautiful mind Your hell is around - your only belief Reality frowned as you tried to live No shelter, no friend No lucrative craft The story is bland And boring enough Your foe is blessed Your love is a tale It’s written, assessed And put up for sale So wishing to stop That terrible mess You murder your hope To welcome your death You look in the eyes Of darkness and wait It’s rolling the dice Deciding your fate Now listen to me The voice of your heart You wanna be free Get rid of the smart Alas! Who is sure if death can release? Its face is obscure A phantom to seize But you do not hear The reason I told So tired of fear You almost behold Its marvelous smile Its friendly embrace Forgot for a while Your goal on the earth Not even forgot You can not recall How talking to God Entrusting your soul You wished to try And saw it so clear And knew: that is why You need to be here That aim could inspire A million lives So greatly desired Beyond any lies The image of love… Your memory’s blown The abyss above The abyss below Your planet is flat A spurious coin If only you heard That genuine call If only you knew That on the reverse He’s searching for you And blessing your birth 25/07/2013 . |

quote: I agree, we do have a mission down here and should never stop to find out what it is especially, and then accomplish it. This is an exquisite poem, dear Galina. One to read once again. Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |

I enjoyed this, Gale, but I will read it again when I am in a better state of mind. A mission I am on to save a dog from neglect, isn't going very well, and looks as though it isn't going to happen, but I will fight to the end, but I think the end of the fight is nigh, and I think I am going to lose.

"Reality frowned as you tried to live" "Your love is a tale It's written, assessed And put up for sale" Some great lines there. Gale. A very deeply moving and powerful piece this is. An awesome reminder for all of us that the contrasts between what we see, and what actually is, can be quite profound. Much enjoyed. Michael |

Thank you, Michael! You get the gist of the problem. Sometimes our perception of everything is so wrong! |

Thank you for reading and your comment, James! And thank you, BluesSerenade! It would be great, if someone, who appreciates his own life not too much, had heard that message, for I can imagine how it feels to reveal after the end that you blundered so... silly, and you can't play back. |
