Flowing Streams

Flowing Streams

Light and life in flowing streams
Let's seek them out, beyond the schemes
For simple is the way of truth
It doesn't need a super-sleuth

The world a stage?  We always knew
And everything's just passing through
The hopes and fears of each mind
Will come and go whilst most are blind

And reading may not bring the way
So much is thought, but what's to say?
The depth of human-kind is rare
Don't doubt you'll find the ones who care

So with this searching, life is born
And once again, another dawn
Excitement rises, floods our dreams
No darkness beats these flowing streams

Hey Simon, seeing as this was posted in 2014 I doubt you post here anymore for obvious reasons but for what its worth I thought this was genuine, had an original rhyme scheme and was just deep in its content, let it be known that someone saw this my friend...

Curious Onlooker, thank you for commenting.  Yes, like many other writers I eventually stopped writing and posting online (at the time I posted this one I was writing and posting a new poem every day), although your comment comes at a time now when I'm sending material out to agents again, so your encouragement is greatly appreciated.  Much of my writing I'd completely forgotten about so it's also good to be reminded of it!  All the best, Simon.
