Alexis Y. Poet Free verse

If For Some Reason

If for some reason 

You never saw another sunrise 
Did you live your life to the full

If for some reason

This was the last chapter of your life
Did you find love in a world of darkness

If for some reason 

This was the final curtain
Did you accept the hand you were dealt

If for some reason

You heard the angels singing
Did you embrace the light while on earth

Vladislav Raven May 16, 2017 at 5:38 PM Hi Alexis, Another excellent write from your pen, you write some excellent questions. All i can say is i will always let others answer these questions. Those close to me would know the answers better than myself. I do try to spread the light of love as much as i can. The first question would be a definite No for me. This one has to be a seven Alexis. Hugs....Mike. XX Alexis Y. May 16, 2017 at 5:48 PM Hi Mike, Thanks you so much for seven, the awesome comments and the recent visits to my page. As for your answer to the first question, I understand but one can always make small steps to start living "their"to the full. I will visit your page soon my friend:-)Alexis

Connie Marcum Wong May 8, 2017 at 2:41 AM Questions we should all ask ourselves Alexis. I would like to think that I could answer yes to each of these questions. But I am sure I can do better. A thought provoking poem Alexis. 7 ; )

Lisa Ricci May 6, 2017 at 7:51 PM Good Evening Alexis. This entry was a perfect way to end poetry tonight because your entry makes the reader pause and look within. You have expressed beauty and worth. Yes, worth. Your questions and thoughts are so valid, Well done entirely. I very much enjoyed the repetition for expression. Check your fourth line. Enjoy the night.

Freddie Robinson Jr. May 5, 2017 at 11:00 AM I love the pure existential pondering of this exquisitely smart poem, Alexis. A very spiritual write. Top notch poetry for sure. It gets a 7 for courageous. Love always.

Tim Smith May 5, 2017 at 7:56 AM I still have a lot of living to do and I hope it will be filled with love and joy...excellent poem

Chris Green May 5, 2017 at 6:25 AM I loved this my dear friend. Love the form and the questions as they made me think. My answers I believe would be yes to all of the above. :)

White Wolf May 5, 2017 at 3:44 AM Lovely write, Alexis! I can honestly say that I accept my destiny with open arms! I've died twice while in ICU, so without going into detail, I have seen the light! And it was beautiful beyond words! Enjoy your night/day.
