Lost in the Mundane Unobtainable

head-196541_1280 (3).jpg

we are always
where we are
we are always

always is infinite

lost in the paradigm
of human thought

lost to …
the haunting spectre
of desire

we grasp at infinity
believing it unobtainable

immersed in always
we believe it mundane

Lost in the Mundane Unobtainable,
inconceivable, unbelievable

blind to the infinite beauty,
seamless everything,
golden eternity

always grasping,
never obtaining
forever mudaning

lost in thought
trapped in humanity
trying to transcend reality

always forgetting
BE. HERE. NOW
dancing in
the golden eternity

Wonderful:)

we are indeed lost in thought, all an illusion. Thanks for these lines

Thank you, Sayee:)

We are the grandest design we know of, born out of pure chaos, infinite, each lost in the mundane routine, too lazy to live.

Alas ... I think my problem is the opposite of lazy but perhaps it is not a problem ... I think it is a lack of appreciation that is our achilles heel.

Love it. Immersed in always we believe it mundane... Just so meaningful! thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Nolasco:)

<3 you're so welcome!

“Lost in the mundane” we miss those everyday miracles around us for which we should be thankful, painting a colorless world, lacking gratitude and joy.

"Gratitude opens our eyes to miracles around us. Life's a miracle & a gift. Take every breath in gratitude.” ~MomzillaNC

“Life’s joys are found in the small moments. Never let those moments pass uncelebrated.” ~MomzillaNC

Thank you, Denise:)

Oh the drudgery of the mundane! I can certainly identify with this poetry.
Beautiful line!

of desire

Thank you, Rose:)

we grasp at infinity
believing it unobtainable

We believe that it is unobtainable because we do not try to achieve it.

Thank you, Cordero:) I think we do try but we believe do strongly also in our limits. We have been taught to:)

"We are always." Short but meaningful. <3

Thank you, Ree:)

Insatiable. That is what we are. We create unobtainable because we want more.

That is a wonderful way to conceive it:)

There is a lot to think about here! One thing I’m thinking is that you might want to consider publishing your whole poetry collection when the 100 day’s are done. You do some amazing work!

Thank you, Jayna. Yes I think I might. It will also give me a chance to work them a little more. Getting a poem up each day doesn't lend a lot of editing time:)
