I'm Rich !

I'm Rich !

A Poem by Mr. Lopez

While wondering aimlessly through life

With eyes wide open and mind tightly sealed

I would spend years trapped in a hollow existence

Until…..

I found something more

Valuable then all the riches of this world

Piled as high as the eye could see

Amongst the scattered pieces and blackened ashes

Of my tormented life…

It was there all along

My first clue of who I really was

Came in the form of my faith

Encouraged

I dug deeper with purpose

Until my prize was revealed

 

My living soul

Short...yes... and yet, hits hard to the core of our beings. I like it personally, i'm adding it in my favorites, because it's simple but so memorable.

My fav part:

I dug deeper with purpose

Until my prize was revealed



My living soul

(the reader not really aware of what you will be ending with, and it makes us think much longer after the poem is over)

good writing my friend. I love how you have a spiritual touch to your writing. respect that.

Aahh...but yes.
What value do we have without a living soul?
Certainly nothing material holds any real value
for it can all be replaced...
but we...
cannot.

Indeed, those who have recognized their soul,
and within it found real love, passion....
purpose...
joy..
FAITH...

They are the wealthiest among men, indeed.. !

This is magnificent my friend... as always!
Your work is becoming more and more inspiring ...

Keep doing that. :):)
