The great expanse
stuck in a lacklustre loop
Somebody’s vision begins to blur
for they are forgetting their youth
The amiable ones shed advice
when they can’t face their own voice
The city folks find it easier to lie
under their own doing of a starless sky
The apparent distant path to truth
needs only a look inside
Pulsing life struck down
by vile melodies
Of feeble and worthless order
nibbling away your wondrous gut like a bug
Intuition blurs into a soothing illusion
You find yourself lifeless
in a museum of disorder
Merging faces stare at those who fail
to understand their great expanse
Stuck in a lacklustre loop
of finding meaning in the futile external you

This is unique, as I say. In awe!
Thank you so much!
Unique painting and unique poem. Yes, stay away from unhappiness.
Glad you found it unique. Spent a lot more time on this than usual 🙂
Futile to look for happiness outwardly when, like you say so eloquently, “The apparent distant path to truth needs only a look inside!” That is the key, yes. Thanks for sharing. Lovely.
