What Is Really Sanity? Poem by Romeo Della Valle
What Is Really Sanity?
What is really sanity?
Being able to see the colors of the rainbow?
Or living in a world of fantasy?
Perhaps walking on your feet instead of your elbows?
Sanity is just like beauty,
Seeing through the eyes of the beholder!
Maybe fighting destiny with great fury?
Or simply leaning on somebody's shoulders?
Sanity is more than a simple thought in the mind,
It is recognizing that you are a human being...
Being always humble and kind
Without overreacting and going to the extremes...
Sanity is choosing writing instead of fighting,
Seeing the beauty of nature and the world...
Coming out to light and not hiding,
Showing your true face, in simple words...
Sanity? You mean society?
What can others tell you about their own behaviors?
That the whole world is based on vanity?
Or what has already been proven
By keeping the faith alive?

This is a very nice and thought provoking poem. What a great question: What is sanity? One thing is sure, some of the people labelled insane today will be the philosophers in the future, the seers, the enlightened ones. If I am looking for sanity, I find a lot of it in the writings of RW Emerson. On the other hand, it feels sometimes to do little crazy things. My son used to say: papa, I like it when we do little crazy things together which go from walking in the rain, to looking at stars at midnight or just spending time trying to catch wonderful lightning on our cameras or buying birds to set them free. Perhaps as long we can think clearly and keep searchng for the truth, we remain sane. I love to think about these things. Excellent poetry, Romeo.

A lovely thought provoking write. Yes, Sanity is a humility through sincerity.. It is not racialism or cruelty. Sanity protects humanity, it keeps the faith alive....... very very nice.
