Today

A brief inspiration of mine

  

     The days that pass for me seem so surreal

                                   For I am no longer addicted to this drug of affection

     I am finally aware of the path I tread upon

     Though I dare not call this time perfection

  

                                   I am comfortable in the silence of this secluded mount

     And thoughts are keener that they used to be

           I love this place of untainted splendor

                                     For the words gently flow in the cool mountain breeze

 

        I am not the most passionate soul to ever live

                      Far from it I may be at best

           But I would offer you the shirt from my back

                                      For I have discovered my life to be so wonderfully blessed

 

                      I find myself alone in the world

               Aside from kin who think of me with love

                   But lonliness no longer pains me

          For tragedy has made me stronger than I ever was

 

                                 The sighs I expel

                     Are no longer those filled with hurt

                                The words I create

                   Are laced with meanings and worth

 

   

   To those who appreciate the literary- Don't ever change.

To those who want for nothing- Don't take anything for granted.

   To those who have the love of their life beside them in bed at night- Cherish the small things, and remember: there are few things in this life to fight over, why risk it?

   To those who live every day as if it was their last, and put those whom they cherish and love first- Don't ever stop.

Mmm indeed. I enjoyed this more than you'd ever know. See, I am one that lives life like it could be gone in a glance. I love this poem and the atmosphere it creates. Your words are thought provoking and makes one nod slowly but thoughtfully to what they're reading. Modesty is a attribute that should always be cherished. Yes you may not be the most passionate soul that every graced this earth...but passion beats vibrantly in your soul and pulses unhastened through your words. All and all? I loved it...

I love this. This is exactly where i am in life right now. I'm not good at giving reviews, and critisism. And the only time I comment on writing is if I'm really feeling it. And I feel this poem. Love it!!
