I Wonder

Submitted by Sarah on Thu, 04/09/2009 - 00:07

I wonder what has happened
to the days
when life was carefree.
I wander as I wonder,
as I look, but I don't see.
Yet still I wonder,
wandering yet,
Ceaselessy searching,
for a way to get

love
truth
beauty

without

strife
hatred
pain

where can I find
the hidden virtues of the heart,
they're buried deep,
they've been ignored for so long.
Yet they've been there all along.

Wow, sad. But I like the way you had
"love
truth
beauty"
and then countering it,

"strife
hatred
pain"

It's a little shaking, but I'm all for shaking. It's good.

thanks. :) I was feeling....a little discouraged when I wrote this.
Shaking? What do you mean by that?

An interesting poem that requires a little thought - but then, I like poems that make me think! : )
"They're buried deep/they've been ignored for so long"... lovely.

Me: He can't. He's in the wilderness.
Brother: Then make it a four-wheel-drive motorcycle!
