PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Comfortable to be complacent

Living only now

Leading only to stagnation

Living like a sow



Never needing to look forward

Makes one shut ones eyes

Every wave must move shoreward

Though one might fight the tide



How can you be satisfied

When your sky

Barely reaches your eyes

How can you be satisfied

To simply survive

With nothing more than staying alive



Potential is a negative

If you never fill it

And blood is only relative

To silver if you spill it



Gold is only worth something

When someoone else wants it

And no one mourns the broken wing

More than the one who flaunts it



How can you be satisfied

Seeing the sky

And not wanting to fly

How can you be satisfied

Where you lie

sitting on the ground till you die



Shivering to fight the cold

Won't weave you a blanket

And contemplating getting old

Won't help you forsake it



Diamond dust and cloudy dreams

Neither fills your hand

You must shape reality

Like making glass from sand
