If I Remained Frozen

If time were frozen for only but a moment

Would you embrace the view, or farewell the olden?

If the light of day became the dark of night

Would you cherish the peace, or take off in your own minds flight?

 

If I told you that life, were only your imagination

That we are the creators of our own dictation

Would you believe me and let your life run wild?

Would you dare to dream like the innocent child?

 

If you witnessed a mother lose her only child

Would you give thanks for your own, or be crude and vile?

If another craved forgiveness, would you give them your hand?

If another needed assistance, would you meet their demands?

 

If a fallen tree should rise, would you stare in horror and suprise?

Would you smile and say, "tis the way of life"?

Many will fall, some expect them there to stay

But know we can all learn to crawl and walk again some day

 

Life is a mystery, a constance of unknown

This be the beauty, of every underlying tone

Do you question purpose and reason?

Or appreciate the changes with each of lifes' new seasons?

 

The waves swell only to crash, with slight anew

In hardship do you quickly dash, or stay in dangers way to help a few?

Living can be a hoop, a cycle of actions

Be a part of the troop, rejoice in the selfless satisfactions

 

A man is happy when he cares for a wife

Without her he is a blade without a handle, a broken and useless 'once was' knife

The altruism person will live a fulfilled life

The selfish being know only the company of his own strife

 

Live for each moment, for each is a treasure

If you stayed frozen, would you dare to measure

Your life in memories, or simply your person?

If I remained frozen I'd be satisfied with the life I had chosen.

A very deep and meaningful poem which was brought across really well. You used great questions and images to really push the point. Great job
