Life�s REVELATIONS

   

What are we searching for – where does our yearning lie?
I am not quite sure, I have the feeling I am destined for something bigger than I... (I know THIS - what I am becoming). I don’t intentionally provoke immorality... But why then, do I welcome it with open arms? Why do I enjoy it so? Why…, (What I have desired for so long) -A place I could feel safe, call home is anything ‘but’…

In life, there comes a time when we must ‘stand and recognize’!
I’d like to think I’ve earned this right, paid my dues if you will... I have managed to hold my own, infusing with-in - what is right and wrong... I know who I was and what I am becoming... Are others exempt?

Put your hands together as you look to the sky...
For years gone-by, more than I would like to remember ‘I have done just this’… Where have YOU been? Why do I feel YOU have forsaken me like the rest? I have believed in you when others have not. Have I been ‘dismissed’?

Auspicious signs will then reveal,
Hmm~… this indeed, they do. Beware though… not everything appears to be an open book.

Life is ambiguous… even-handed it is not!
Open to interpretation – how true is this! No apparent objective – it depends on how you view life. Unfair and cruel – THIS I am all too familiar with.

Don’t inspire with apprehension,
I do not have the luxury of encouraging fearful expectations.

We might have one – forcing its threshold...
I’ve had the drive to push forward for so long. Why now… am I giving in, giving up this fight? True is this - boundaries are only as we imagine them.

- Love and compassion a vital quality
Interesting traits… do they really exist?

Purity and Innocence, a distinguishing feature...
Forsaken me - these have done.

Life has a path ‘to each its own’.
To claim it as mine… this I do not choose.
Ours dreams lose their way, To say I’ve had them once – I guess in ‘goals’ I did.

Legacies ‘somewhere’ have become obscured...
Does such a word or belief still exist today?
For this is the 20th Century - People are not here for their names to stay...?

I have to say that I agree with Ms. Belsito after reading this. Indeed you have put together a very imaginative piece. I think the object seems to be more thought provoking that spontanous agreement of the masses. There are certainly parts that we can all debate upon and I think by writing this you have increased awareness of where we are all heading or at least could be.

This piece has a unique structure and form. The theme is universal, with questions that those on the path of conscious enlightenment seek answers. Great diction and syntax. I enjoyed reading!

Great work! This could be life changing for some who read it. It really makes one think.

There is no such thing as truth, it is all subjective. What rings true the most is the ambiguity. I love the structure, it's very uniquely written! :)

[MaggieSummers]

Very thought provoking read... thank you:)

[quinfinn]

personal and thought provoking, uniquely formatted to say the least. reading this, for me, was almost like a retrospection of my own personal analogies and i felt briefly kindred to your soul. this is what makes poetry interesting, when it touches something inside the reader. good job!

[WatashLegend]

The questions in this write lure the reader in and make them one with what you have written, asking questions in a piece is a great technique and you have executed it wonderfully!

I am glad that I have come upon this today, and thank you for the invite, :)
I will comment again, because I am thinking about all these questions, because oddly enough, I am working on a bio, and these questions are thought generators for me, I like your answers, we all have our own.. thank you and much appreciated. WS
