#3. A bit of a change. Tell me what you think........?

So, poem #3. it's a bit of a change from those prior, though still rather awful. Tell me what you think. Oh, as an aside, the last time i wrote a poem the lines kind of spilled over, so an accidental lack of punctuation and capitalization occurred. And i went on vacation (without my computer), and had no chance to select a best answer. sorry, to anyone who cares. I voted for the answer i liked best anyway.

Even That Which Is Not

It's just so beautiful,

And I can't help but sigh,

Each time this beauty leaves my sight,

My hearing and my touch,

My senses.

I can't help but regret the times,

The times I've witnessed this beauty,

And failed to act upon the things I feel inside,

The things that I think I should naturally be doing,

But can't bring myself to do.

Ah, but everything is so silly,

And I can't help but laugh at the things I've done,

And look forward to the tings i might yet do,

With as much anticipation as trepidation.

(I ran out of room)

Update:

I'm always so scared,

But always so calm and relaxed.

Always so sad yet never happier.

I suppose thats the way things in life take form,

At least for me.

All is balanced,

In a chaotic sort of way.

Balance is everything,

And everything is balanced.

This is the only universal truth that i hold to,

The only philosophy that i accept as fact.

It is the basis of all that i am,

At least for now.

Everything is so beautiful,

This world we live in,

For all it's faults,

And horrors and ugliness,

Is exquisitely beautiful.

If it was not,

Then we would never know beauty,

And all of humanity would be cursed.

I fear that our children,

Will live in a world bereft of all beauty.

It is this thought,

Above all else,

That truly chills me.

This music is so wonderful,

And even though I can't understand the words,

I understand the meaning,

For that is the way of music,

And that is beautiful.

What is beauty?

All is beautiful,

Even that which is not.

    it's a bit long... I do like it though. There's a lot of emotions showed in this.
