Life

A personal belief in how life should be observed.

Sing to me the songs of

artists caught off guards and off track

But always in control

 

Teach me the passion of

 actors on stage that have nothing for themselves

But their all for others

 

Show me the ways of

the Saints who can love unconditionally

But never falls in love

 

Allow me the mindset of the God

or Goddess who knows what is right and wrong

Without being biased morally

 

Breathe within me the breath

of a romantic desperately in love

Without the pain of loneliness or rejection

 

Show me perfection in

the mirror to someone who knows not of it

But don’t tell it’s me

 

Let me learn the ways of life

through my own eyes and theirs

But never let me be aware

I really liked this poem! It really shows how you see the world, and based on this poem if more people thinked like you the world would be a better place. I liked the last line 'Let me learn the ways of life /through my own eyes and theirs/But never let me be aware'. Very well done!

So wonderful :)

Every time I read this (several, now), I can't help but smile at how much you amaze me. This is such a powerful piece, so cerebral, it's astounding. You know I love your work, dear, and I could never pick favorites, but this would definitely come close.

All of this is true, and most of us don't see that in everyday life. How an actor loses themself in a performance for the audience. It makes so much logical sense and we don't. Really well written.

I like the logic in this poem. Take a lot of people many years to understand. Anger and violence does not cure anything.
"Allow me the mindset of the God
or Goddess who knows what is right and wrong
Without being biased morally"
A very strong ending to a excellent poem. Thank you.
