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.

I thought this was a poem... You should not have written a line by line explanation for the poem because a poem should keep the reader thinking of what this means.

that was nice i like it!

This is pretty awesome-- I love the original formatting, the wonderful lack of boundaries and restraint, and the way you express your confusion through punctuation.

I love reading your work...your words have a way of going straight to the heart and stirring the soul...some of the thoughts you inject are very poignant and profound...ingenious presentation the way you raise a question or thought and reflect with your personal thoughts...VERY VERY WELL WRITTEN!

Set sub-titles... embellish them ... result... this very unique format!

Questions and answers, asking the Highest and, the man who reads, but, maybe, waiting for your own answers

This is an exciting, extraordinary way of writing and the words tease - for want of a better word, encouraging the reader to think.

Great post.

interesting, like your style

Wow, I love the format. It pushes the bounds a bit, but that is needed in my opinion. It really causes the reader to think. I am going to have to come back and read it over a few times. It is more than one can really take in one bite.

Sorry, I cant really give you a constructive review. Other than I thoroughly enjoyed this! And thats why I read and write, enjoyment. Thank you.

profound in thought and prose. the didactic style is like a strong spine and presents attitude vs. premise. Profundity was not decreased in the slightest by the didactic feel--it added a strong style that created acceptance and belief. I enjoyed reading the poem--a real journey. tovli
