Meaning

—-

By Andrew C McDonaldPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

We search for hidden meanings

In the smallest of things

The sheen of feathers

On an Eagle’s wings

A drop of morning dew

Glistening on a flower petal

Rhythm of music

Classical or metal

But meaning exists

In each and every thing

A small child ‘s laughter

A wedding ring

Meaning, though, is personal

Not the same from one to another

A blue moon to sister

Means not the same to brother

Seek inside for your own truth

And once found gainsay it not

Embrace it, grok it, let it be

For meaning found be meaning sought

inspirational

    I love your poem and the story behind it; many times I observe nature and do not look for a meaning. It just is. 😁

  • This was so positive and uplifting. Loved your poem!
