Best Meaning Of Life Poems

Since I've resolved to laugh at life-
   find humor in its flaws,
      and realize that stress and strife
are shaped by worldly laws;

Since I've resolved to compromise
   with dreams that can't come true,

Through forgiveness...I've learned the meaning of faith.
Through faith...I've learned the meaning of life.

THE BARE INFINITIVE

Look: up above the stratosphere 
Outside the earth's blanket veneer
Beyond planets stars and galaxy 
Past even faintest nebulae

Far from the pull of gravity
Free of Dark Matter's hidden vector
In existential cavity
Untied to any spacial sector

All human weakness risen above
In solo freedom primitive 
Beyond the...

Life
Spins
Shuffling
A playlist
Sequencing events
Encapsulating fierce lessons
Exuding a gentle breeze that conveys fear triumph
Savoring nectar sweetness brought with living each moment as first day of existence

Others, and my children, wanted to understand the meaning of life.
As I’d recently had surgery number 7, yes, gone under the knife.
It’s simple, you see… And it’s not so very hard to believe… 
I once met God and understand, what for some, is hard to...

Since humanity first became a sentient species, aware of time, space and its own mortality, there has been only one question that matters:are we just clever animals destined for nothingness, or does a part of us exist apart from our bodies, a consciousness or self...

In the overall scheme of things

What matters most in life

It's the love of another human being

The total commitment between two hearts

That indescribable connection

When you recognize that someone is oh so very special

Of all the people we rub elbows with

During our too short a time on...

The Mountain –
I climb between a foothill
And its craggy legs. Self will,
See me through
Where few have forged before,
Higher than the hawks explore
And higher than my clouded view.
I must not fail, there must be more!
I go

IN SEARCH OF THE MEANING OF LIFE

Beauty Most Rare –
Days past...

The Meaning of Life 

Monty Python got it right:
The meaning of life
Has nothing to do with hats.

It has to do with a conscious appreciation
Cultivated in this life, for this life
With all the particulars it offers.

The Meaning of Life



Falling from sky
           Heading for earth

The decades have slipped by
Sometimes I think I understand
But really most times I know
I haven’t figured out anything
And I haven’t got a clue

In any case with the setting sun
The meaning of life is at best enigmatic
All I really know is that time is elusive
And each...

One day, while walking in the park,
 I met an old man sitting on a bench,
 looking up at the blue sky.
 I sat next to him. He looked at me
 Like I was his son or a friend.

 Why do you look at the...

What is the meaning of this life?

Is it pain and grief and strife?

Is it the happy and joyful things?

Those things that life finally brings?

Is it the dark and dreary trail?

Is it the plainness oh so stale?

Is it love, or little children?

Is it death that’s so...

a life without meaning
is no life at all.
a saying
heard
by you.

what is a life
if it has no meaning?
is it truly a life
or is it
not?

I like to think
if life has a meaning
it is to keep
us going
on.

but what if it truly 
has no meaning?
Then what are we
truly here
for?...
