How Fragile We All Truly Are

This touches my soul. Great write.
thank for sharing. 

I call it " hitting the wall " we all have to make tough decisions in our life sooner or later! I tried to convey that in a few of my writes like "Heart " Great write Shaun! I think our paths are parallel in a good way! enjoyed it my friend!....................................................................Jim

This thing we call life is a great ocean and, like all great oceans, storms  are inevitable at times. We are caught up in  the great swells and chucked and thrown and drowned and saved (so we can be drowned again at some point). We are capable of  causing our own storms too of course. We ride those waves and destroy the planet and other species as we go. This great ocean should show us the reality of things -- but the human race rallies ahead regardless. There are a few of us who realise just how vulnerable we really are and those of us that do write poetry.

Humans -- God's greatest disaster 

Great poem Shaun x

wonderful poem 
yes life can hard
we have to do 
the best we can do
every day  

Hello Shaun, this here is a wonderful piece that for me expresses the importance of recognising how we truly do feel deep inside. To not pretend to cope, for so many of us are constantly being the pillars for others to lean on. But portraying strength can actually make us weak, as we bottle up the real worry and life’s strains. Which eventually cost us physically and mentally. I loved the line 
“Our dreams aren't made of stardust”

How this grounds the reader to reality. Life isn’t a fairytale, no. It can actually be quite a harmful place to be. Only once we recognise how fragile we are as humans, shall we take better charge of our life and ambitions, and be stronger to help others. I loved the song choice as I love sting, and that’s a fab accompaniment to this poem. Once again you broaden our minds Shaun. You are a diverse poet, who is never afraid to challenge the readers mindset. 

A great poem

Yup so very true we really are just little leaves blowing in a blustery breeze my lovely catchup kid ❤️💕❤️

Hey SHAUN!!....what has been so strange for me is....that somehow I never seem be to be on COSMO when you are.....it's like 'Psychic Missing' or something.....I literally have to go out of my way to find you.....I am SOOO engaged when I'm Cosmo....with Private messages from writers and questions from poets that are new to this site....not that I'm complaining...but it does make it difficult for me to keep up with everyone.....BUT...as good fortune would have it.....I saw a comment of yours on another poem.....so I clicked on your name.....and voila!.....I found my way here.....and I am SO very glad that I did......This is one of those poems that make you feel VERY proud to be a poet....Like Tina (Being Me) iterated ~

           - (and I agree with this, for the most part..
              I mean there ARE other professions that
              ARE equally aware by design but poets HAVE
              to be)
Anyway......as usual...your words are quite stirring!!......and as ALWAYS....I HAVE to PIN your work.....because you shine dear poet brother!!......you shine!!......Bravo!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!......T xo  :  )

How write you are Shaun .. these few lines seem to carry & convey the very essence of our fragility like a banner .. what a species we are and how I imagine we shall all eventually suffer for the errors of judgement, stupidity and greed of a few who presently hold high office .. Excellent my friend ..

We call it karma down here as I'm sure you do too my very dear friend .. 
So good to hear from you .. Stay well & safe .. Neville 

So very true Shaun and a beautifully written piece. Reading the comments I wish I too could believe in Karma but I don't. I think life is so very very random with a lot of good stuff happening to bad people and vice versa. I think if karma exists it has bypassed planet earth. Hugs x

So true in the words written here. It's a beautiful piece and from reading the comments it certainly created a storn in responses!! We are vulnerable and time has a different story to play with us. 
but more so I say....the unplanned is also a plan.....we just dont know what it is....our future is already written....just as we are born...one day we will all die and go...no one can say when....but we all know it....what happens in life all depends on fate, karma or how ever else you want to phrase it. So in truth what u have written is true we are all fragile beings doing what we can. Powerful soulful write. Px

Apologies for taking  so long to find my way back..but the wait was worth it to find this splendid piece and to connect  so easily with it.We have an image within us that believes one day we will be heroic..Nobel...shining beacons of strength..but so often the emotions that we think will lead to our  fulfilment often are the catalyst that reflect back to us our fragility..our vulnerability..the truth that so often we feel we are perhaps powerless to change and have to learn to accept and move beyond.. any yet  isn’t there within us the quiet knowledge that  perhaps our actions will make us the best sort of people we can be ..and that the opposite is true for those that don’t feel the need to do the same.A really perceptive write Shaun and one to pin and re read often. As always my friend, stay safe and well and  let life’s special moments always find you.
