Difference
Time makes fools of us all
You cannot outrun it, cannot change it
Let yourself ride the wave it places you on
It may push you further out beyond the sea
Where the difference becomes obvious to your mind
To make more of what you are
Let science take you beyond the limits of thought
Let them use their golden mechanical parts
Choose to make a difference
Stand out from the crowd if that is what you need
Wheels within wheels moving space, changing time
We turn; we spin our way through life
trying to keep up with the machines
Let them rebuild your broken body
Become the inner man you were meant to be
Let your mind tune in to the wonder that is you…
Love the message in this poem. Well done! 🙂
This is such a positive and hopeful poem, Anita. Dare to be different and proud to be one!
The only way to be, really. And thank you!
Yes, Anita, I do better when I keep my hope and light in sight!
YES. And the last line gives me hope that we all look INSIDE for the wonder that is each of us. Let our own moving wheels make a difference. Well done!
Beautifully written, Anita. It gives me a sense of hope.

What a cool poem. I think it captures the potential of science to enhance our physical lives as long as we still retain our ability to make positive heartfelt choices. Wonderful job, Anita. I’m looking forward to sharing!
