    Erratic Ponder

    Mindfully
    Through each day go forth.
    And tumult and terror rains eternal.
    Invisible to you.
    Not something I would share.
    That one, withering secret.
    Better left untold.
    Lest it destroy the reality.
    Of us...Together.

    I really like it; short, economic and very potent. I like the alliteration of the Ts in the third line. I might merely remove the "and" from that line, as well as the "together" in the last line and maybe "one" after "that one".

    Wow, thanks a lot!
    Ya, originally, it didn't have the "together" at the end, but when I re-typed it here, for some reason I just thought it would be better :P Haha guess not.
    Thanks again for all the CC

    This is really a very interesting poem different from the archetype.

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.

    Very nice, be better without the punctuation. A nice brief poem that says a lot with a little!
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Do you mean just the ellipses, or all punctuation?
    Thanks for the feedback!
