Life

It's a sensual being, the body,

the choices, the restless conversations and useless forms of manipulation of your mind.

I transpire my reaction to the unspeakable actions,

swallow my pride and try to close my eyes.

What more can I do or is able to do?

The world is a nightmare.

Life is a job.

Sometimes when you go to a place so dark, so lonely, low and not worth meaning,

You do things you might regret.

Tactical it may be, yet it humbles you.

It allows you to make sense of what you are doing and forces you to see how fragile the sense of self, yourself really is.

My recurring nightmare, my endless dream.

Hopefully I'll be able to wake up,

from life.

Ah - Maybe this is not life at all, but is really death. Perhaps life is on 'the other side.' Good write

A very beautiful poem with deep meaning and thought provoking in the reflection of life it self. Life sometimes can seem as if it is a job but we can use it as a learning process to discover how to better glorify our creator who watches over us day and night. Live for your creator who made you and all the challenges of life will become something you can consider as a joy and not a nightmare. Learn from your mistakes and strive to become your best. Do not harbor regrets but be proud of trials and mountains you have overcome. Be all that you can be as the saying goes. God Bless Randy

Thanks so much!

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
