Is This All There Is

Busy Lives

Is this all there is

twixt dawn and dusk?

Are we truly living

or just an empty husk?

 

An empty void

the passing hours,

no time to simply pause

and smell the flowers.

 

Youths songs unsung

left hanging in vacumned air,

betray our past

and lead us only to dispair.

 

Is this all there is?

 

Is this all there is?

 

 

 

 

Is it?

 

Author's Note

just thought maybe we could all slow down once in a while.

Be honest please

Came by to say hello and saw that you have a new poem, I read and instantly fell in love with it's poetic remembrance. We have lost our ability to stay in the moment, enjoy not only the destination but the jouney as well, lifes little moments seem to add up to a bunch of insignificant errands.

The rhythm of your words and rhyme scheme you've created really played out well in this piece. It is true how we all seem to have less time to deal in remedial matters that which heal us from our everyday struggles. We all seem to have less and less time these days.

What kids don't go out and play any longer. They are too busy playing xbox and playstation or watching movies. This is a very cool write get them outside to smell the flowers.

Life is too short to not stop and smell the flowers, I have been dealt lesson after lesson on that thus year. we all need to take the time and consider all of what is really important to our life. The hours pass quickly and the time for us is short. We are merely spiritual beings having a human experience, and not vice versa!

I do have a feeling lately that there is so little time to do the things you must do and to do the things you want to do. Well written, made me think, thank you

I certainly hope there is more. You never know what you will find around the next corner or what person you will meet who might be such a blessing in your life. A slow dance is so much more enjoyable than a fast one any day, don't you think? Great work. Keep on penning.

Magnificently penned and an inspirational thought to take with us as we journey through our Friday and begin our weekend. Thanks for writing it and reminding us of the importance to stop and smell the roses and enjoy their beauty. Excellent!!
