Divine Circle

This morning,
Reaching into the pocket of my raincoat,
I pull out a card
That simply reads:
"Enough".

My neighbour
Yesterday has mown the grass in the meadow,
Leaving a centre circle
For the purple orchids -
Divine.

Some people,
Living in high-rise flats in Islington,
Don't see a soul
From week to week -
Forsaken.

This morning,
Looking closer at the word I hold before me,
My heart feels broken;
But nothing like
The world's.

Quite a deep write, but again I like your outlook on life, well penned

Sandra Martyres
A very deep write Steve..I agree everything is a matter of perception in life....our sorrows and disappointments pale when we look at the world's sorrows and pains

Fay Slimm
All things turn full circle eventually - hurting hearts need to feel for the whole world's pain as the last phrase in this perceptive poem brings out.

Nikunj
you are right ...a nice expressive poem that brings the message out loud and clear ...
