Enchanted Island

We all have set sail on the ocean of thought;
dreaming of reaching an enchanted place;
a dream world embodying all that ought;
and yet, pure thought, requiring no space.

Our mind creates an idyllic creation;
thought’s perfection, with no omissions;
a dream world for a perfect vacation;
reality

Why ?

New roads being paved nearly every day;
as old ones have become obliterated;
landscapes keep changing in every way;
past lifetimes; completely incinerated.

Past meadows; long gone, many times over;
while new buildings replace all the old;
those meadows now filled with the latest clover;
as a new present completely

Superficiality

Most seek to avoid true reality;
it often troubles our mind;
we accept superficiality;
whenever reality’s defined.

Some think that lives are random;

Writer's Block

Times change; but passion goes on;
trashing my pen and my quill;

How can we be so far apart;
from the footsteps we vow to follow?
He has, within, a love filled heart;
we have a pump that is hollow.
