    The Mechanics of Life





    The Mechanics of Life

    Intricate inner feelings
    Dark unspeakable emotions
    Less than amicable dealings
    Silly foolish notions

    Dreams and visions of prosperity
    An abject fear of poverty
    An inane hunger for popularity
    The desire for total anonymity

    The driving desire to be a success
    The desire to experience all this world’s best
    The fear of the failure of heartache
    To run from love for fear of heartbreak

    The desire to commune with princes and kings
    To adorn the one you love with precious things
    To be totally free of toil and stress
    And free of the fear of loneliness

    These are all intricate parts of me
    Things that I am and desire to be
    things that bring both joy and strife
    Components that make up the mechanics of life

    H. Wilson

    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.
