Look at the stars, Narcissus;

they shine brighter than your eyes

and each blooming rose is redder than your lips.

 

Can’t you see their sweet kisses;

the pure gold in each sunrise

or the glittering pearl in each raindrop that drips?

 

There’s so much more in this wide world

than these small lives of yours and mine;

life’s a vast tapestry unfurled;

each breath you take can taste like wine.

 

There’s so much beauty to behold,

more than your heart could ever dream;

love’s Midas touch turns all to gold;

just look around; see how it gleams.

Hello. This is lovely. Sometimes it's nice to feel like a very small drop in an ocean. This poem gives you that feeling, of the whole incredible universe above us.

Thanks, Catherine. I can only speak for myself but I, like most modern people, used to be inordinately obsessed with myself and whether I 'measured up' to others and, like most modern people, it made me depressed but then I discovered a different way of viewing Nature and my part within it and I've been happy ever since. Glad you enjoyed it.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.
