the world as i see it













i'm comfortable with the world as i see it now;

sometimes,
i don't think i want to know more.


i know

that life is beautiful,
and if you don't live it . . .










































well, then, what ARE you doing here?


















Author notes

what was the reason you were given life if not to live?



i don't want to know so much as to have memorized what element and how many protons and neutrons and electrons are whizzing about in each little molecule. i just don't want to know it. i know the sun and the grass and the dirt and the trees, and that's what i'm comfortable with.

    Good point!

    Very profound poem, Lunatick. Do we really want to know more, when we are comfortable with what we know? Hugs from the one and only Starhiker.
