A Bit of Life Meaning Learned

Seconds come and seconds go ~some slip fast, some crawl slow~ sometimes they unfold an abrupt new threshold. Roughly we sail through when easy would work, too. Roughly we sail through with faith a hindsight view. That we fight with change brings us waste and drain. Embracing our exchanges with all time rearranges would ensure we live with some life meaning gained. Would we but walk as sought ~seconds knot, seconds caught~ surely time would not befall us but often enthrall us. Roughly we sail through when easy would work, too. Roughly we sail through with false fear as our view. ... CayCay May 24, 2019

This poem's theme is applicable to our dialogue about all things being in divine order, people fear change when really it is the universe poking us onward and upward to our highest good. (in most cases, not talking Hitler type change here.) I am so glad you visited me! Poetry hugs ... CayCay

The first two lines of this wonderful write for me, explain the essence of it - you write with a deep questioning mind, always seeking - you are a very gifted poetess! Hugs, Jenny.

Very meaningful, Caycay. The false fears rings through so strongly for me. I write of hope for my life's meaning, and hope means we need to get past the false fears. I hope I can do that when my time comes.

Your time, the time for giving up fear, is now. In my view that is everyone's truth. I, too, work on it and work on it and pray on it ...

Deep verse, CayCay. I remember studying poems like this one in order to figure out their meaning--- and then extrapolate to the 'meaning of life.' Good luck in the contest! Peace, gw
