A Different Look Poem by Smoky Hoss

A Different Look

Rating: 5.0


Go, sit out at night
be watched by the moon, stars and milky way,
remain, until dawn breaks fresh upon a whole new day.
Simple sensations, divine revelations
smell the flowers, watch the birds in the air,
live as a child, not a worry nor a care.
Try to fathom it all, how and why
the way we live, and the way we die.
See the sky sparkling and blue, follow imagination to far more than merely you.
Allow no swagger of walk
nor avarice of talk,
to obscure these most profound things,
for in such, life's mystery quietly sings.
In simple daily events
can be found life's greatest glow,
a peaceful pleasure and purpose
waiting for us to know.
Like a great tree standing in the wind,
sometimes we dance, sometimes we break,
but through it all, it is the mystery of life
in which we partake.
Go, take a different look around,
you'll find, in all, living does abound.

You did an exemplary job here, the language and expressions pure poetry (and class, as is your style!)

I am so happy to have come across your poems/writings, as there are many about the beauties of nature in which I so love, and can actually feel the words said here, and the beauty of it all. My favorite call. I am adding this to my favorite poems list, as I love it. Beautifully done! Thank you!

Really very nice! I fully agree, we should take a different look. If the stars would come out onlly once in a century, how would we all admire it Let us indeed think like a child and enjoy as many moments of beauty as possible

A great poem, as we get older we tend to take everything for granted. If we went back to using our minds as we did when we was kids, we would have a better take on things.
