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.

the cycle of life and then you die.. Good write.

you are right on with saying " Everything is juxtaposed"
the cycle is wanting; not being ok with already having...or standing still; embracing; thank you for this reminder

I really enjoyed the humanity in this piece, it captured so much of the human life cycle's suffering. Great choice of topic and really up my alley so to speak.

Very moving!
