A Different Look Poem by Smoky Hoss

A Different Look

Rating: 5.0


Go, sit out at night
be watched by the moon, stars and milky way,
stay, and love those incredible sights
until dawn breaks fresh upon a whole new day.
Simple sensations, divine revelations
smell the flowers, watch the birds in the air,
live as a child
without a worry or a care.
Try to fathom it all, how and why
the way we live, the way we die.
See the sky sparkling blue,
imagine so much more than just you.
Allow no swagger of walk
nor avarice of talk,
to obscure these most profound things
for in such, life's mystery sweetly sings.
In daily events
can be found life's greatest glow,
a simple pleasure and purpose
waiting for us to know.
Like a great tree in the wind
sometimes we dance, sometimes we break,
but through it all, it is life
in which we partake.
Go, take a different look around,
you'll find in all, living does abound.

You did an exemplary job here, the language and expressions pure poetry (and class, as is your style!)

I am so happy to have come across your poems/writings, as there are many about the beauties of nature in which I so love, and can actually feel the words said here, and the beauty of it all. My favorite call. I am adding this to my favorite poems list, as I love it. Beautifully done! Thank you!

Really very nice! I fully agree, we should take a different look. If the stars would come out onlly once in a century, how would we all admire it Let us indeed think like a child and enjoy as many moments of beauty as possible

A great poem, as we get older we tend to take everything for granted. If we went back to using our minds as we did when we was kids, we would have a better take on things.
