The Meaning of Life.

The Meaning of Life.

What is the meaning of life?

Is it to overcome all the pain and the strife?

Is it happiness and it’s pursuit?

Is it the bearing of fruit?

From the bitter tree

Issued to me

At my conception?

Or is that a false perception?

Is it to triumph over our fears?

Or gaining the acceptance of our peers?

Is it having fame or notoriety?

Or being a contributing member of society?

Is it the acquisition of wealth?

Or the knowledge of self?

Or, is it, simply, LOVE?

To be loved?

To see love?

To have loved?

Is that Love?

To show love?

To know love?

To choose love?

To lose love?

To feel pain?

That REAL pain.

That make you so numb pain.

That why was I so dumb pain.

That you can’t run from pain.

To hate love.

To hide love.

To never, provide love.

To take time to heal

To no longer be bereft

To remove all the scabs

From the scars that love left.

To open your heart

To love in repetition

And hope that the pain

Has gone into remission.

To find that no matter the love that you’ve found

That the pain that you’ve felt is the one common ground.

Yet continue to go through the pain and the strife

In search of TRUE LOVE, that is The Meaning of Life!

Thank you very much for finding enjoyment in my poetry! My Favorite lines are: " To take time to heal To no longer be bereft To remove all the scabs From the scars that love left."

Wow, this is awesome, execellent rhythm and masterful rhymes. Not to mention the content and metaphor. I actually wrote a piece a while back that sort of tries to answer the same question. You might enjoy it: http://www.originalpoetry.com/wheels Write On, my friend.

I really like this! You use repitition quite skillfully. I once wrote a similiar poem about what the meaning of art is. I was like is this or is it that etc. This poem sounds like a stream of consciousness and reads off really fluidly. Nice!

Loved the flow of this poem and there's a lot of truth to what you've written about life... so full of despair and pain, but with the ultimate goal of LOVE! Loved it!

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words!

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
