Vibrancy of life

I write to free my soul from words without me, go unspoken. I write to make you think, thoughts you already know.

 

Vibrancy of life, felt by all around

Rooted and steady, deep within the ground

I move slowly and speak the same

Every moment counts, this is not a game.

 

My heart overwhelmed, by all I have seen

Souls; starving, weakened, forgotten and lean.

Do we understand who we are?

Surly not, we’ve fallen so far!

 

Who still listens to their soul, you?

It will tell who you are and what to do.

I for one understand,

I am more than who I am.

 

In silence listen, with strength speak

Ignorance of soul makes one weak.

So set aside earth bound cares

Step out of yourself, take the dares.

 

This life is short, too short to waste

Make a difference, in boldness and haste.

 

~Melody

[Poetic Beauty]

This has a zen quality to it. It makes us think of the universe and the vastness of it. It reminds us that we have a soul in there trying to guide us and keep us on the path of enlightenment. This has a great depth to it and it makes the mind and heart react together.

[Linda Fernandes]

Very very nice, well thought out and makes the reader think and feel.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

very well said... the poem was smooth as silk and full of sound thinking... life does not wait for no one so live before it is too late.

[Virtuosa X]

Great work. Indeed, we do not understand who we are.
(Second to last line, I think you meant waste instead of waist.)

Nice work though!!

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]
