    Peace! Definitely an unusual find for all!

    PEACE


    Infinite paths folks walk
    Many beautiful, friendly people
    I've experienced
    The pleasure of meeting

    Alas .. regretfully
    I've made acquaintance with
    A sad personality .. or two
    Leaving a lot to be desired
    Pertaining to friends .. persons

    Ups and downs
    Smooth roads
    Humans travel upon
    Sometimes bumpy

    Common choices tend to be difficult
    Reality will always be ours
    To accept .. or refuse
    Distractions occur frequently
    Creating unwelcome fantasies
    And false illusions

    Caution .. listen closely
    Observe conscience
    Be prepared for the long journey
    Confusingly .. echoes persist
    From the distance

    Meekly
    Freedom cries
    Beckoning
    An unusual find
    Peace

    ... or welcomed fantasies ... that create peace ... (giggle) ... or is that just an illusion? ............ Luna

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
