Possession

Possession

We try to fill a gaping hole with many possessions,
but it never seems to work,
it rebounds back on us and then were left chasing and wanting more.
The vacancy hasen't been eradicated,
all attempts to find satisfaction have failed,
the pleasure we derived has been swift,
weve gained little comfort from all the goods surrounding us.
Then guilt makes us give it all away,but are we content,
now were rid of all these useless things wev'e collected,do we feel cleansed,
now that wev'e de-cluttered and recycled.
How long will it be before our purchasing powers return,
and were buying it all back,
will we eventually go full circle and give in to temptation.
Because avoidance behaviours are easier to address than feelings of being empty,
because the real solution is to much of a task,
when we can get quick but temporary relief.

Oh My!!... you ARE feeling ANXIOUS today!!.... and this couldn't be more insightfully and observantly a TRUISM.... given that just about everything within this beautiful experience we call life is cyclical!!..... forever caught in the spokes of reality.... until... that inevitable reincarnated experience when we use ALL we have learned to gain the freedom and entry into our Ultimate experience.... which, of course, we have no word for as of yet...... smiles...... sorry for rambling.... your write just got my juices flowing!!....... Obviously, I Love this write..... anything that makes me think..... or in your case..... the fact that you are a natural born writer makes me happy that I found a site like this..... Lots of  fresh opinions about what's actually going on in this world...... what can I say.... the Age Of Aquarius is upon us...... oops...... there I go rambling again!!...... high fives dear poet sister!!...... smiles......LOVE & ROCKETS!!......T xo?✴❤
