We Search In Vain Poem by DM W

We Search In Vain

Rating: 5.0


We search in vain for permanent kingdoms.
We cling to sweet totems of affection.
Yet we find ourselves lost in shadow worlds
Without true guides who can proffer wise words.
We look to art and poetry to make
Sense of things. And we busily create,
In our hives, precious lives of meaning.
Yet we seem to have trouble perceiving
The greater light that sometimes, is inclined
To appear, when we need it, in dark times.

Very poignant and more than that extremely spiritual and uplifting. A tonic for the troops and a great write. A full score and most deserved. We should all step back and look on life's bigger picture and reflect. Thanks Dominic and I wish you well.
