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.

Sigh....may I say my view, my perception of this work?
I know Jesus..I have been trained in the Bible..I do not attend a church...I dislike most christians...hypocrites the lot, well most...yet I still believe the story...who knows if it is, heaven, or God or the fable was a mans attempt to assuage his own doubts...
Never, never give up on yourself..keep driving for the prise...you are the only one who desires what you need, others may aid but most want the same things and competition greed...the fable of Cain and Abel...so true of man...a creation of pride...it is why as it is written He died...I am not holy nor will I portray myself as such..yet I relate to your words..well done

It's interesting how you put this all together. Very intriguing and philosophical.

[Stephanie McCants]

You have managed to sum up all of life's epiphanies, and in such a way to make one feel not quite so alone in this world. Great job, it made me really think about life.

[stipe]

it's kinda hard to follow, not like it's difficult to read, just hard to keep track of what your on about. but that forces one re-read it a few times, which, in my humble opinion at least, makes a great poem.

Things to ponder on here, very well put together.

This is a great poem. I loved the structure. It opened my eyes to a different way to write a poem. It was powerful with the simple words you chose.

[heidi..through the look..]

thoughts to ponder, a validation that life is upside down sometimes, unfair, unsure, sometimes united, sometimes not. I like the subheadings and the pure language. Uncomplicated and yet permanently complicated.
