REALITY

 THE SUNDAY MUSE 201


We walk about 

In our chosen shoes

to keep us

quite protected

from mud and such


there are times, however

we have a need

to dispense with them

and wriggle our toes

in the mud of life.


to  remember 

what is real

and be reminded  

to walk in faith

and never lose

touch with reality.

  2. I love 'wriggling our toes in the mud of life' ... like pulling one of those chocolates from the box, never know what you're gonna get.

  5. Love the contrast between safety and reality and the word "wriggle," which just makes me smile. :)

  8. Your poem is a great reminder to stay grounded, I like to get my toes muddy and walk in puddles occasionally, there is something humbling about it.

    Very much so Bev! In times of uncertainties currently faith is a natural fallback to maintain sense of purpose!

  10. There is a great message in your poem......."to remember what is real." I am hanging onto the natural world right now, as the human horrors going on SHOULD be unreal, yet sadly it is really happening.

  11. You hit it with this, Bev. Remembering what is real can be challenging.
