Usually...

Missing image
Oh God

I respect, there is the luminousness
in the full-grown towering town

and the illumine as well as
happens around

moreover, I spot you in the contentions of
the residents

the only difficulty, I am encountering is
that no one is operating by the conviction

Usually, they are practicing the "lifetime"
by the watches

Oh God...

    Once again, I'm reading through your poetry and I'm completely inspired by your conviction and prayer. I simply love your poetry.

    this sure is different and to be totally honest I didn't quite understand it..
    Maybe this poem means the race of getting through each day ... maybe it is spiritual.... Not quite sure but thankyou for entering it was an interesting take on the picture, goodluck in the contest xx DD

    Going through the motions, rushing to get no where fast, watches dictating our lives, and no one operating by the conviction. Quite an observation, and sadly it is so true.

    Good luck in the contest...

    This is so very true--words, but no conviction. What actually happens is like an observation which was shared with some of us teachers at a convention once. A person from a primitive culture, visiting a city for the first time, asked his host about the "gods" that people were wearing on their wrists--their watches.

    The World at Large

    Everyone goes about as though everything is fine, all is the same as it always has been: blind and deaf to what truly is happening on this planet that is "reeling to and fro like a drunkard." As you so succinctly say, "lifetime by watches" instead of God's timing. The world is crumbling around them, even the ones who claim to believe yet behave differently. Well said, my dear friend. In so few words you have captured the chaos all around the oblivious, seen only by a few. This is worthy of GOLD, thus I hope the host is in agreement.

    Much love in Christ, SisBon

    Interesting observance..."I spot you in the contentions of the residents"...Makes this one wonder what it is we "Usually" reflect to one another...And it is so true, we allow our watches to decide for us what is most important to be present to rather than just being present each moment. I love this one, my friend. Peace and best wishes in the contest. Rhonda

    wait a minute

    This is very good. Your poem and the picture are quite a match. Contentions, convictions, and time pehaps not so well spent. Enjoyed.

    Very true, these days we do the things because we need to without much thought, nice words, like and respect it.
