Psalm of Being

Everything is juxtaposed

The ungratefulness of the living

 

Earthquake of tongues wagging

 

 

Love in the grave

 

The tsunami of teardrops

 

 

Relief of the near dead

 

The sadness of a new born

 

 

The loneliness of a toddler

 

A quest for the teenager

 

 

The frustrations of a worker

 

Hope for the newly weds

 

 

Shortcomings of a parent

 

The disappointments of the divorced

 

 

Regrets of the retired

 

The gateway for Alzheimer's

 

 

Psalm of being

 

The cycle of the average human life

You told the complete story. I believe a wise person tried their best to enjoy life and try to allow the things we cannot stop to effect us as little as possible. great thoughts create by the outstanding poem.

I am not especially moved or anything at all actually by this, it has its point and is unique but doesn't impress me though, but overall it's alrgith!

Like the couplet structure, I would tidy it up a bit, maybe a bigger type and less distance between the lines might be better, good poem.

We are born into the circle of life, destined to reach the end before we are aware of the beginning, that being said life truly is about the journey. The universe is a great puzzle but you've got to love it in this moment, born knowing it's a circle...
Breathe...Well done, kingblaq

For random they connect very well to me...each leads to the next one and so forth. I enjoyed it very much...finding that really we have no control over what we think we do...or that we have influence over that which is beyond our reach..."ponder" poem you have written...WOW!!
