What gets you up in the morning when there's nothing to live for?
Profile avatar image for Lptillis
Lptillis in Stream of Consciousness

Life

What gets me going

Each and every day

Is the fact that someone

Somewhere

Didn’t get to see a sunrise

Or find joy in laughter

Or say “hello” or “goodbye”

Life is precious

It is fleeting

Days are numbered

So this celebration

Of breathing air into my lungs

With a blank canvas ready to create

Realities here, there and in between

Is a realization

That life

Is a precious gift

That I’m thankful for

Cheers to every day

Not to be swayed by circumstance

Ruled by emotion

The challenge to adversity is

Gratitude

Thankfulness

Love

Reflection

Life is a gift

Open your eyes

Life

Challenge

Lptillis in Poetry & Free Verse

Sparks

A warm embrace

Precious smiles

Conversations carry on endlessly

Sleepless nights, cheery sunrises

Love is blossoming like a butterfly

Desire wants this to escalate

To its highest form

My heart is bursting

The spark of love in infancy

Challenge

Our God

Our God is free from hate. Firm, loving and free. Pleasantly surprised at the depth of his creation. Angered with pain with their decisions made without consulting Him. Yet loving enough to carry us along the way. Always lending and ear waiting for his creation to whisper. Love reigns supreme. As we scramble, build and destroy, plot and scheme our ways out of love. He listens.

Oh yes....he listens.

Challenge

Lptillis in Poetry & Free Verse

Love

Power is not powerful

But love is love

Strong enough to break chains

Heal wounds

Bring people together

To make the world look different

Through rose colored lenses

Giving peace, contentment and security

Without this love where would I be?

Examples of love flee humanity

It's up to you and me

To love.

What is life?

Lptillis in Philosophy

A Gift

Life is a gift

A slither in time

An experience with five senses

Out of millions that hide

To be cherished and loved

To experience and grow

To hurt, cry and learn

To discover and reconcile

To forgive and forget

To make the best use of time

Before wasting what is left

To find purpose and pleasure

To downplay the pain

That every good thing

Had a beginning and end

Challenge
What would it be like, if the whole world spoke only in rhymes?

RhymeWorld

Oh what a wonderful bliss

Is the idea of something such as this

To speak in rhyme all day

Communicating in a jolly way

For whatever I say

You say?

Must fit my words perfectly

It's important for you to obey

And follow the RhymeWorld way

Welcome, oh yes, please stay!

And navigate through RhymeWorld today.

Tango

Her movements are fast

Pen and paper entwined in a heavenly dance

Each stroke jabs quick paragraphs

Challenge

Depression is repulsed by me

I can provide warmth

Joy

Gladness

Enhance moods

Cut through clouds

Brighten up a landscape after storms

Want me to cheer you up?

I'm more than summer

Bring me along for winter too

I'll make the plain landscapes bright

Beyond your wildest dreams

With my radiance

Brilliance

And gentle kiss

I am __________

Challenge

Mother to Child

Life isn't easy

There's expectations

Principles

Doubt

Fear

Judgement

Discrimination

Stereotypes

Debt

Heartache

Pain

Sunshine

Rain

Illness

Sadness

Death

Happiness

Friends come and go

Circles change like seasons

Confidence grows by leaps and bounds

And is shaken down without notice

But with all of these things ...you must be strong
