To live

Flickering moments of pure joy
unburdened from the false ideal of a happy destiny
they give meaning to what life is about
they give hope to humanity.

Passions, glory, anger, love, hate
all matter in this chaotic universe
they give meaning and purpose
show the way
to live, persist and succeed
facing all impossible odds
and emerging victorious
even for a brief, fleeting joyful moments
that last an eternity.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
