What is Life

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is life without a spark but

a shade of night without the dark.

 

What is contentment without any

bliss but a pair of lips without a kiss.

 

What is sorrow without the pain

but a poignant sentiment inhumane.

 

What is passion without real emotion

but a lack of interest in total devotion.

 

What if life was a meaningless heap

a dreamless dream of perpetual sleep?

 

What if love doesn’t exist, would

anyone’s life truthfully be missed?

great questions and contemplations!

What if life was a meaningless heap
a dreamless dream of perpetual sleep?

Great rhyme to this poem. I like the message, too.

so true, Ostensible Truth!

ahh what is life indeed - without passion or love - or emotions even - certain things make others - sorrow cannot be fun - and passion can't be feigned - can we live with no love? maybe... but we'd be more like a shadow

[Jim Parson]

I couldn't resist, because I love this song as much as I love this poem.

Oh my, these are musical questions! Dancing about the mind kinds, flowing and sweet, drifting and calm .. thoughtful questions to hug and keep, thoughts to wonder and dream about. Big man sensitivity in this poem ..

Life is love, and, like that garden .. bright and more ..

[Lily Mae]

We are nothing without love... Even with the pain and sorrow that sometimes comes along with it..it just shows me I'm still alive and able to feel. So my humble answer is ..there is no life when loves doesn't exist.. xx Another beauty. You have some magic sir...xx
