Purposeful Life - Sentinel
Amidst the roaring  waves I live and stand 
claws bared, waves rise and fall to tear me down;
lashing me with chilling force to disband,
their perpetual onslaught wants me drown.

Screaming tempestuous chill winds storm me
buffeting hard to wipe me out of ground,
winds and waters join...

Purposeful In Minds Eyes
Family, friends,those whom we've depended upon;Live not up to our definitions, expectations or intentions, but rather blindly on purpose.
Creating faulty hearts out of their shame, mapped within us all to eventually see the same.
Seeing our refelections in others, to become that which has already been.

Premium Member Through Purposeful Zeal
Oh, Lord, imbue me with gratitude and zeal.
Much as the red burst trailed the glistening steel.
As a possible sequel, yielding divinely may reveal.
There is no laziness but an apparent ordeal. 

What if I could eagerly grasp the spirits for adoring?
Allow me to depict life out...

Pain Is Purposeful
I remember it all
Every tear, every step
When the pain wraps around you 
And claims back your breath
How the fear makes you idle
And you start to believe
That darkness will forever 
Loom over me 
And as you fall through the abyss 
Deep into its gloom 
Let the...

Her love comes through me imparting a precious gems shine...

Dump Artificial Goals, Live a Purposeful Life!

Do your goals disappoint you, like verse without rhyme,
There's an urgency missing; all go overtime,
Are you jealous of others whose goals play a part
In much larger endeavors that border on Art?
Your life needing direction? Your path lacking light?
Well, these...

Premium Member Peace Wonderful Purposeful Peace-
PEACE
Peace, I awoke and flung the truce
Peace, Once I sat engaged and ordering
'PEACE!'  I INSIST, 'Yes PEACE!'
I heard a War making, loud angering
PEACE
Peace, I awoke and flung the truce
My passion is the pacifist process
Much I marveled the splendid break
Freedom - freedom - freedom! 
Peace,...

PURPOSEFUL LIFE

 Why am I alive?

its answer is not in my insight

for what I have to strive

its answer is not satisfying

suddenly the answer arrive

with my ears strike

for many reasons

you are alive

for helping others and guide

don't think life is in vain

just think what you have gained....

Premium Member Questions In the Sky
I stand here and gaze at the stars in the sky,
And wonder what happens to me when I die.
But harder to see with my very own eye,
Is purpose of life as it passes me by.

I must first consider the where, when, and why?
And who it...

Premium Member Changing the Past
a strange sort of flow
comes with thoughts of long ago
spews a welcome glow
nostalgia may just soothe
when mixed with lies and half-truths

Hitler and his ilk
less troublesome than spilled milk
like Wendell Wilkes
slavery a slight bother
endorsed by founding fathers

a happy nation
few trials or tribulations 
add more misinformation
ignore racial...
