Life�s REVELATIONS

   

What are we searching for – where does our yearning lie?
I am not quite sure, I have the feeling I am destined for something bigger than I... (I know THIS - what I am becoming). I don’t intentionally provoke immorality... But why then, do I welcome it with open arms? Why do I enjoy it so? Why…, (What I have desired for so long) -A place I could feel safe, call home is anything ‘but’…

In life, there comes a time when we must ‘stand and recognize’!
I’d like to think I’ve earned this right, paid my dues if you will... I have managed to hold my own, infusing with-in - what is right and wrong... I know who I was and what I am becoming... Are others exempt?

Put your hands together as you look to the sky...
For years gone-by, more than I would like to remember ‘I have done just this’… Where have YOU been? Why do I feel YOU have forsaken me like the rest? I have believed in you when others have not. Have I been ‘dismissed’?

Auspicious signs will then reveal,
Hmm~… this indeed, they do. Beware though… not everything appears to be an open book.

Life is ambiguous… even-handed it is not!
Open to interpretation – how true is this! No apparent objective – it depends on how you view life. Unfair and cruel – THIS I am all too familiar with.

Don’t inspire with apprehension,
I do not have the luxury of encouraging fearful expectations.

We might have one – forcing its threshold...
I’ve had the drive to push forward for so long. Why now… am I giving in, giving up this fight? True is this - boundaries are only as we imagine them.

- Love and compassion a vital quality
Interesting traits… do they really exist?

Purity and Innocence, a distinguishing feature...
Forsaken me - these have done.

Life has a path ‘to each its own’.
To claim it as mine… this I do not choose.
Ours dreams lose their way, To say I’ve had them once – I guess in ‘goals’ I did.

Legacies ‘somewhere’ have become obscured...
Does such a word or belief still exist today?
For this is the 20th Century - People are not here for their names to stay...?

I have to say that I agree with Ms. Belsito after reading this. Indeed you have put together a very imaginative piece. I think the object seems to be more thought provoking that spontanous agreement of the masses. There are certainly parts that we can all debate upon and I think by writing this you have increased awareness of where we are all heading or at least could be.

Very imaginative. Shows your approach to life. Keep it up.

sincerity..I esp. like this: boundaries are only as we imagine them.
wonderful thought. excellent!

[K.D.Storm]

This is awesome. Still have it swirling around in my head.

I think I have pondered on many of these things ..many many times actually so many that I begin to think it's not such a bad think to not understand everything ..and as soon as I let go answers to many of those questions came to me and those that did not ..well I did not feel ..that urgent need to know WHY..
I begin to know ..that we all suffer the questiosn..I think it was Leonard Cohen ..whoi said live the questions..I know Rainer Maria Rilke had said this as well.. and ya know we have no choice ..there will always be questions we just have to be ok with that.. good thoughtful work here.

interesting. it is very thought provoking and unique. i love it!!!!!!!

[Tracie Skarbo]

I love your unique style. The way you question everything as you determine what has happened in your life and what you can learn from it. The way you encourage us to do the same. I think your legacy will be here long after you are gone and you are making your mark on the world. Certainly your words prove this to be true.

Very thought provoking; it certainly made me think! I look forward to reading more!

[BelowABridge]

makes one think about where their life is going and if thats the write place and way of doin it. I feel like its about how you get there. the path. the qualities observed in yourself and how to see yourself.

[Tom Benson]

More profound writing in this piece. This style I would regard as 'Free Verse'. Is this introspective I wondered or muse inspired? Having only read one other of your poems at the moment I am leaning towards introspective. Why? I don't know you yet... but I have a feeling thus far that you have already had more than your share of issues with relationships. Life may have dealt you a couple of bitter blows. Your not coming across as resentful and self-pitying, but more - Why have these things happened? Why do they happen? What can I do to sort things out and get on?
I could be well off the track but that's my thoughts after two interesting writes.
I have a lot of reading to catch up on but I think I'll have a look at another couple of yours before I move on. I like the fact that you don't accept things - you seem to want explanations. Tom
