A leaf on the ground,
a cloud in the sky,
a book on a shelf,
you don't notice, but I

see a pattern, a picture,
an image, a face,
an adventure forgotten
but not to be erased.

Find a treasure in a snowflake,
a picture on a door,
a reason and a purpose
in things thrown 'bout the floor.

Hear the constant need for answers,
the search for knowledge, true,
the one among the many
who now sees things anew

Search for memories lost
where items can't be found.
Remember how it used to be
when to love you weren't bound

Wish for things forgotten,
desires overlooked,
see things for what they truly are
Not a cover, but a book.

Not a building in a city,
but a mystery unfurled.
Not some poem on a paper
but a message to the world.

    ^^ What a beautiful way to start this piece, I really liked this opening verse.

    ^^ I enjoyed the imagery you portrayed here, it made the piece all the more real for me, however I'm noticing that you seem to have quite a few fillers which is putting me of a little.

    ^^Favourite stanzas of the piece, I really enjoyed these two, they brought out many conflicting emotions for me as the reader, and such nostalgia.

    ^^..I don't even know what to say about these verses except that I find them beautiful, I love the meaning here, and you've managed to wrap this piece up with such beautiful and elegant writing.

    Well done!

    The message i got from this really well written poem wasy to not let anything go unnoticed, to read between the lines and to appreciate everything and everyone everyday.

    the wording was sublime, it had a good message that was niether cryptic nor too obvious for the reader, and the excellent rhyming was the iceing on the cake. 5* fav*

    What I think this poem is saying is that we over look so many things all the time, and take so much for granted. We ignore and overlook so many things. Lovely things. If we would just stop for a second to observe and take in things we could be a little more appreciative. That is what I think you are saying in this poem.

    I find it confusing throughout...that is, until the ending. It makes a wonderful thing out of nothing. My only complaint is I believe you fall out of rhythme every once and awhile. Very good.

    Peace and prosperity,
