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.

A very thought provoking piece. I really enjoyed it. The creativity of the poem is astounding. How Each line of the poem is described and how you tell yourself what the line ment to you. I really enjoyed it, i really did. Poetry like this makes me just want to be more creative and more understanding about human nature. Keep writing.

How wonderfully profound when one discovers what has lay dormant for so long and then we blossom. Excellent examination into your own soul. Thank you....

[Kasey Klein]

I don't get it.

Must be my path.

There's much I don't get.

[Lady Of Darkness]

Are these your own quotes? This is more then a poem these are your inner most thoughts.
I loved your first one. Everyone is destined for something bigger we just have to find out what that is and when we do then i think we can have peace within our selves.
Great write.

[Kathleen Marie]

well said and what makes us human is the ability to create anew when all seems to have been destroyed -- what brings us up further is radical forgiveness which lets us move on -- it is all too easy to 'click-through' the incessant dialouges of warnings that Web/PHP/MySQL programmers like Charles has to do -- it gets monotonous for him as his eyes are glued to the monitor while he is planning for the next best thing he can do to speed things up -- I saw it coming three weeks ago with the slowness we all experienced. I endured the molasses page loading bemoaning all the detritus folks boilerplate onto their profile. I warned some of the impending crashes and reducted Pema for jeRRy with a total backup of my werks. All in all the stuff of digital dreams on binary seas. Everything is impermanent and especially when it's faster on the internet. Faster Faster more better is the internet mantra and it leads to all sorts of breakdowns trying to keep up--

nevertheless we create anew that what we as writers do --

I think many pieces of past times, I don't catch the detail....... but it spread over my deep experience, switch on the blue......
