The Meaning of Life

As humans we share so many things. One of those things is our lives being unique journeys. Although we can help each other on our journeys, thanks to our commonalities, we must put one foot in front of the other on our own. The lessons I am learning may intersect with yours, but my experiences are unique to me even if you were my sibling living in the same space as I. Thus, the emotions and thoughts that influence my choices won’t be the same as yours.

The Meaning of Life
 
The meaning of life you are seeking
is not the meaning of life for me.
Our emotions may be similar
but the burdens we carry differ.
The way we respond to life is fueled
by particular circumstances
which inform all our thoughts and feelings.

Love in its purest form is not mine.
Nor is it yours as it’s diluted
by residue from our life events.
Our journeys may reflect similar
mindsets, but your answers are not mine.
Sharing your journey with another
may resonate, but then it may not.
We must be open and receptive
to the sacredness of their journey.
​

Dogma in whatever form it takes
can never answer all the questions
for which a soul is seeking answers.
Each soul’s journey remains distinctive
with choices made and answers unearthed.
It’s only at the end of our journeys
when what we’ve learned will perhaps reveal
an insight into our hearts and souls ―
the purpose of your journey and mine.

    A Diary in Verse

    Pablo Picasso said, “Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.” For me, free verse is like a diary. It serves you by allowing you to release your emotions by setting pen to paper. At times, it helps you clarify your thinking on a subject. Regardless of the motivation, it is an intimate exercise. As a writer, it takes courage to share them with others. The words lay you open to the world.

    Life is a purifying process. It serves as our crucible – a place where we can experience the heat of change. Life is our source for opportunities to transform ourselves. For me, writing, particularly free verse, helps me transform my feelings about difficult situations by putting them down on paper. Oftentimes with those verses serving as release valves, I can feel myself changing as soon as I place the last period on the verse.

    One thing all humans have in common are emotions. Emotions exist on a complex spectrum, and the spark leading to their expression can be either intrinsic or extrinsic. It can stem from experiences in the past or those in the here and now or even those on the world stage.

    I chose to share these in hopes they would resonate with others. I hope some of them can serve you on your journey, if for no other reason than to know you’re not alone in how you are feeling.

I will read forever because it lets me visit in my mind the worlds that I will never be able to see; it helps me put away the stresses of the day and relax into the rhythm of the story before me; it lets me bring to the surface and experience without regrets those feelings I hide away; it lets me re-experience the thrill of first love through someone else's eyes; it keeps my mind juiced so that it will never desert me; it is always there for me even when there's no one else. I will read forever no matter whether it is print or digital because the words will always call to me. ~ A Sassy Scribbler
