My Life

My Life

A Poem by Anita Singh
"

About Life, hopes and dreams, sufferings, loneliness, knowledge and love.. Sums up everything.

"

Three passions have governed my life.


The longings of love,


The search for knowledge


and the unbearable pity for the sufferings of my heart.


Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.


In the  union of love I have seen.


In a mystic miniature, the prefiguring.


Visions in the heaven, the saints and poets have imagined with equal passion.


I have sought knowledge.


I have wished to understand the hearts of people.


I have wished to know why the stars shine.


Love and knowledge led me upwards to the heaven


but pity always brought me back to the earth.


Cries of pain reverberating in the heart of children,


in famine,


of victims tortured and of old people left homeless.


I long to alleviate the evil buzz and I too suffer.


This has been my life and I have found it worth living.

Thanks Cody! :-)
Those are three noble passions indeed Annabella ! Love is a powerful emotion that brings joy, pain and suffering. Knowledge is a lifelong quest and suffering is a part of life unfortunately. Your words speak truth and wisdom. I don't really have any suggestions for this type of prose. I enjoyed the read :) Justine
