focus on immediate surroundings

focus on immediate surroundings 

when we expect too much

of others and of ourselves

of world peace, of justice

a sure recipe for sleepless anguish

stop worrying

about the world at large

focus narrowly

only then

the journey of a thousand miles

will begin

********

if one's world is big you're lost but if it is small then hope is a cinch #micropoetry #HaikuSeed #ginkgo #haiku #senryu #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #thaiku #tpoem http://baithuk.wordpress.com http://baithak.blogspot.com
