i seek perfection, true completion
i long for a place of absolution
i have traveled most every corner
searching, digging every quarter-
for as outrageous as this will sound,
may be it is Utopia i want found?
why don't you make with what you've?
why do you run seeking what you cannot have?
if happiness can't be found within -
how will you grasp what lies beyond?
so utilize all that you've at birth
let Utopia flourish on this earth!

As they say, 'Where there's a will, there's a way'! I believe everything is within our power to make what we want of it. Mother Earth could be a close replica of Utopia, if collectively we made the effort to do so. Yeah, I have been accused of being a dreamer, an idealist, maybe I am one. But I prefer the positive outlook that leads me forward as opposed to the negatives that turn me stagnant. When it comes to Earth, I am forever optimistic and hope that more people gets some sense knocked into them before She decides 'Enough is Enough' and take things into her own hand. I would avoid her anger in all possible ways I could and hope you will too.

beautiful 'hopeful' piece Ul. I agree this should be our Utopia, and I too wrote of hope. :))
hope all is well on your side of the planet
It's so easy to get lost in earth's utopia because its so beautiful. If only everyone would take a look at what's already in front of them. Nice job. Have a nice weekend.
i would love to maintain a utopian point of view,, but i am afraidon this subject i cannot.. too many obstacles... money,., religion,, politics,, hunger,, poverty.. all definite distractions when it comes to focusing a planets efforts on saving itself....
This is a great perspective! I'd not want to be on Mother Nature's bad side either! eeek...
Hope you are doing well UL!
I've got a new site for you. There are about 50 of my poems on there and more coming that are not linked. You'll see what I mean. Check out http://www.freewebs.com/realityanddreams
Blessings to you and yours!

Great message here to treat mother earth with respect as she has treated us. Great post.
We have been given a utopian earth. Now we should give earth that gift in return. Stay hopeful, because without hope we stop trying.
Thank you so much for taking time to read my poems:) I appreciate your words and kindness tremendously.

Absolutely beautiful UL and I agree
we should all be aware and treat mother nature with respect even it is only for the sake of our children. And I tend to find Utopia in nature
I doubt we'll ever achieve this. I'm not even sure a total utopia would be a good idea. With nothing to frustrate us, why would we bother to advance? If we don't advance, do we stagnate?
That said, it would be nice to get a little closer to it, regardless.
Beautiful, optimistic piece.
Amen. I hope it is achievable. I really do.
If only we could all agree on what utopia should look like...
I really like Granny Smith's comment - we were given utopia, now it's up to us how to repay this gift.
Mother Nature gives as good as she gets! I love the way you've woven so many prompts into one piece. And what a great piece it is.
"it's been such a long
life that we trust
your heart is a whore
and love is just lust.
you want what you can't
and you can't cause of fear
we've got to get
out of here"

I liked your optimism a lot..i always believe on Possibility of Utopia..all it takes is our will and belief..
very well said
From one idealist to another - I believe too. Loved the poetry - it was perfect. :)
I believe we can all make our own Utopia--but damn it takes a lot of work and hope and faith and I'm not sure I have that much
Very insightful :)
Great work! As usual... And the fact that you worked three prompts into this piece is utterly fascinating!!
i'm with you...couldn't agree more. well done and beautifully said.
