PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Life is what we are

life is what we do

what we feel -  what we think.

Life is what makes us cry

what makes us laugh.

Life is our mistakes

and the finding of truth.



Striving for a goal

might motivate us

life is the path

wherever it goes

Life is the stones

hurting my feed

Life is my suffering



What else can I do  

than keep going

to wherever the way guides me

can I do more  

than responding to what shows up?

Goals might be just wishful fantasies

losing their importance while walking



The hurting stones remind me

to pay attention to each step I take

opening myself to details beside the road

enjoying the shade under a tree

and the beauty of a greeting flower

I am becoming addicted to life.
