Vibrancy of life

I write to free my soul from words without me, go unspoken. I write to make you think, thoughts you already know.

 

Vibrancy of life, felt by all around

Rooted and steady, deep within the ground

I move slowly and speak the same

Every moment counts, this is not a game.

 

My heart overwhelmed, by all I have seen

Souls; starving, weakened, forgotten and lean.

Do we understand who we are?

Surly not, we’ve fallen so far!

 

Who still listens to their soul, you?

It will tell who you are and what to do.

I for one understand,

I am more than who I am.

 

In silence listen, with strength speak

Ignorance of soul makes one weak.

So set aside earth bound cares

Step out of yourself, take the dares.

 

This life is short, too short to waste

Make a difference, in boldness and haste.

 

~Melody

[Poetic Beauty]

This has a zen quality to it. It makes us think of the universe and the vastness of it. It reminds us that we have a soul in there trying to guide us and keep us on the path of enlightenment. This has a great depth to it and it makes the mind and heart react together.

[Leslie Philibert]

Enjoyed this. lots of good rhymes, and I like the way you slow down the tempo towards the end of the
second and third verses, good work.

wow so beautiful and deep

[Dark Tower]

Deep, and inspires a sense of self improvement (if I can word it that way))
Very beautiful piece.

very inspirational and thoughts to meditate upon.

[Pencrafter]

Your poem weaves powerful thoughts with gentle threads. It's a profound truth that we must focus on the reality of life, staying away from the artificial fantasies entrapping so many. One of the best and most satisfying pursuits is demonstrating our care for people who may be suffering and need help. If we focus more on helping others then our own concerns and worries will fade into the background.

[Enid Blake]

I like the message you convey so well in this poem :)

[Bobbie Coelho]

I like this too, the rhythm flows fast as if time is running out. I particularly like last few lines, they sum up your philosophy really well.
