A Look Deeper Into Life

A Look Deeper Into Life Do not bemoan fire its blazing warmth or sky its blues summer its hotter winds or kindness its well deserved dues. Wake up to view dawn's majestic hope and life's singing tune sunset slowing fading to night, rising of that bright moon. Grasp heavenly gifts, when romance falls right into your arms thanking God for beautiful women and their earthly charms. Do not bemoan lost or sweeter dreams that never came true for life is a mystery and none can read all its clues. Robert J.

This is truly an inspirational poem Robert. Your positive outlook in life shines brightly on this poem. I’m guessing that 14 is your fav number. Warm regards :)

My sentiments exactly Robert, your look deeper into life, especially the last two lines signifies the profound thought that goes into this compelling write. We can sit and moan our losses or look around at the majestic beauty surrounding us and give thanks. A gem and a fave for me....Maria

Thank you my friend. When one wakes and sees life for what it truly is, they can either moan until departing or else smile and dance a bit. Thanks for reading and commenting my friend..

Thank you my friend. The last couplet came to me and I wrote the thoughts I was having before it came. Whereas usually the opening verse(s) come and then I write, this time the ending came first.

Your introspection, expressed with appreciation through your exceptional couplets, is a wonderful view into life, especially your last couplet which resonates strongly with me.. A superb poem my friend. Warmest wishes always..

Thank you my friend. Sad to say it has taken me decades and living through heartaches and sorrows to finally reach such understanding my friend.
