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.

Sometimes�.Most of the time
We find�yes!
All of the time
It's the little things that matter most

Thanks for the inspiration! I am immediately reminded of two swift notions: Have you ever seen a person waiting for an elevator? Observe the fools who believe that pushing the "Walk" button relentlessly will make it turn any quicker. CHEERS! Brraavvoooo!

Words to live by..... we are after all ..... Only Human. Great Job!

Is this about the deletion of all the new publishings on the site?
If not, that's what this reminds me of.
It was human error that caused everything to be deleted.
I know plenty are upset about this.
Everyone needs to read this.
Hopefully they would get understanding and stop being upset.

ahhh so true, and at times like these, the perfect lines.
now we must just learn from our mistakes.

if anything we now suddenly appriciate WC more, and can go back over our passt successes and little writes we forgot were there....

great work my friend, a smile to my face.

For three lines. I am blown away! Like a moment of silence, these words make us all reflect on how human it is the err, and how hard it is to forgive. Sadly, with all the truth in what you say. People have lost jobs over missing that button. People have started wars by not forgiving. Perhaps this small precious gem may some day bring back a since of humanity to a human culture that is so filled with bias and blindness. Great job!

[A.J. Smith]

This short piece is frought with implications well beyond the obvious. Very witty.

[Gary A Wilson]

Very good, thought provoking.

[Catrinka]

I liked the way you styled this poem - thoughtful, introspective, encourages the reader to introspection as well. Nicely done.

[laughingwolf]

very unique style, extremely well thought out and wrought... kudos!

[Dianne]

Facinating and thought provoking! I've always loved questions and been heavely into self observation and this piece does more than just encourage that, it demands that I examine my self, my expectations and my thought patterns and find a better way.

Do keep this up!
