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.

[Josephine Vella.]

I agree in this write being very thought provoking, and with many unanswered questions awaiting to be answered, I often sit in thought of life and what it has brought me, and when I do I see both the good and the bad, but it seems of late more bad is coming to view, and I for one find myself asking why, I guess I'll never really know except to boil it down to reason, although right now that doesn't console me...thank you for sharing, love always Josie xoxo

This is what I like to call, in my own book, "experimental poetry" at its best. There were so many deep and intelligent thoughts in this piece that I scarecly know where to begin in my review. I love the imagery, and the ideas themselves were more than thought provoking. Well done.

i havent been able to write lately so this is amazing a true work of art it felt like a puzzle with 1000 pieces put together very well done

I dont' know about this one just yet, because the beginning lines being underlined and then the explanation for each...I'm not sure it flows into the image you want. It may be a more concise poem if it were just the underlined sentences, without the explanations. Do with it what you will--S
