Premium Member Earth Life Purpose
It’s my belief we all are here because
God wishes us to know both joy and pain
to learn of life, and also we have flaws
so we’re on earth to reach a higher plane.

Our life experiences help us to find
those attributes we’re in possession of
that we can...

Come kiss me baby and I’ll light your fire
  I’ll melt you like the center of the sun
    impassioned flame will sexy strum your lyre
      in molten vibes of music  - one on one

Premium Member Purpose or Obliteration
I dreamed I was inside a bulb—
a cathedral of filament and glass—
not dead
not born…..
but shumming**.

Glass walls curved like time
sealed but translucent

my fingers curled around voltage
like a secret
God was transcending.

The socket hummed a lullaby
of static.

Every breath of mine made sparks
the air electric
with grief
and longing.

I saw myself...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



Sweet Purpose
I have come to the point of decision
And I have decided in favour of love

Wisdom is not solely measured by experience
But more by capacity for it
I have glimpsed deep into history
I have sieved through its successes 
...for the soundest advice I could find
Most profound I...

Premium Member Purpose of Poetry
When visions, discoveries burn my soul
that which pours out of me is something forceful, 
maybe CHASTE. Although it's hard for many to embrace
ideas on an unconventional level... I still knead my fingers
on paper where the language of my voice chants
or hollers wildly--these hands grasping my...

Purpose
Everyone's purpose is as light as a floating feather. 
Unfortunately, the focus on it is like stirring mud
in weather that currently coats fog on past tense
verbs and a current that doesn't flow in any particular 
direction within current words. 
It deprives everything involved; it is...

Premium Member My Purpose In Life
It’s 4:00 A.M.
and my alarm clock rudely awakens me.

As I wash my face, I look in the mirror I ask,
    “Why do I do this? I don’t have to,
      and there are so many things I’d rather...

Finding Your Purpose / Mission
Written: by Miracle Man
6/29/2019

Age, causes insignificant things
To become amplified.

Because our bodies weren’t designed 
To last forevermore.

We’re forced to constantly struggle
As we downward glide. 

We find each day distinguished
From those gone before,

But we realize, that this life, 
Is God’s Heavenly audition.

And many...

A Cheap Watch and a Cake
You sell yourself for money
Hour lunch two coffee breaks 
To punch a card at 5pm
For a cheap watch and a cake
You live on autopilot 
A zombie for the pay
Make copies, staple papers
Day, after day, after day
You think you're irreplaceable 
Never make it without you
But if...

Premium Member Be Who You'Re Meant To Be
If you want to be true, you must be you,
Though the people will seldom understand.
Listen not to the crowd, make your soul proud,
Be authentic and be the best you can.

Trying to please all, just assures you will fall,
You must follow your truth, with all your...

The Butterfly Cocooned

Noon
Beneath higher twig tips, 
    my heart flutters
Near converging branches.

My cocoon
Rests
Mid-high the strength 
    and distinctive character
Of a gnarly tree.  Embracing me.
This, my home…Cocoon.

Night.
This essential place,
Protecting
Above the swirling world,
Puzzling with its mixing motions
Of lights, colors, temperatures,
Until...

Premium Member Would You Be Proud
Would you be proud,
would you tell me out loud
If you were still on this Earth ? 
Would your eyes well with tears,
would you smile and say “ cheers “ 
would you feel I am someone of worth ? 

Would you wrap me up tight in...
