Poem #9

dim light

By Aaron HodgkinsPublished 3 years ago โ€ข 1 min read

life through a keyhole, thatโ€™s the life with light, worthy of envy
simple
round
guides in place, a beaten path
simple
narrow
ignorant of the infinite, robbed of lifeโ€™s juice
happy but sad, treasure stolen
unguarded
unknown
life and itโ€™s meaning bundled up, removed
alone with itself
priceless
worthless
