Do You Ever...

Do You Ever...

Do you ever...
Do you ever feel like you are alone?
Alone in a crowd?
Alone with people all around you,
surrounding you?
But you are alone?
Do you ever...
Do you ever lay down outside?
Lay down in the grass?
Lay down, with the air,
and the sun, and the ground? 
laying in the grass?
Do you ever... 
Do you ever write books?
Writing all afternoon ?
Writing a book, your hand is pained,
gripping a pen? 
Writing all day? 
Do you ever...
Do you ever fall in love?
Fall in so hard?
Fall in love so deeply, with no one to catch you?
So you keep falling?
 Do you ever...
Do you ever realize the world?
Realize it for exactly what it is?
A ton of people?
A ton of people, working against each other?
And against the earth itself? 
Do You ever...
Do you ever take a step back?
Take a step back, and view things well?
View them the way they should be seen?
As a whole, an intricate pattern?
An intricate form of beauty?
Do you ever...

Indeed. I agree with that first part. Existing like a ghost among the living. Never known and never searched through. Interesting concept, it is as if the poem itself is laying in the grass.......thinking of places and things. Nice.

thank you :) and yeah, i kinda wanted to push that concept in

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
