Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

- People and Purpose of Life -

Life is like a book, with new sheets for each day
There is a creator of the universe, the core of the message
Is life just a coincidence, what is my mission?
When I try to find and follow my meaning in life, 
I listen to my heart
My subconscious is planning my life
But, I always steer the course towards new horizons
and I will always be a director of my own life

We are all unique individuals, with different backgrounds
to live the life we are meant to live
I can not save the world, but I'm a fellow human being
Uses the power and knowledge I have
Personal development an inspiration to enrich life
We must learn to love each other, looking at each other without hate
For centuries, man has searched for the meaning of life
What is your intention?

Kai Michael Neumann July 3, 2018 at 2:05 AM Congratulations on your win. As a medical doctor, I believed very much in causal relations and discounted coincidences. I view those more as God-incidences to make meaning. Thank you for sharing. I like your story. Kai

Mick Talbot June 4, 2018 at 7:21 PM Human lives are what the lucky can make for themselves with no fear of repercussions. Then there are the abused, especially women, either on misplaced religious or cultural grounds, or just blatant discrimination by many narrowed minded males. My intentions are manyfold, but primarily to make folk aware that peace and love will save the world. A profound write Anne-Lise, strikes a chord with me.
