Your chuckle delights
The loud sound made by small feet
- A new beginning
Years come and go,
Leaving memories behind,
Some smiles and some tears,
Some laughters and some fears,
People come and go,
Some people take a piece of your heart
And leave an emptiness behind,
The change comes crashing
Afterwards,
The blindness,
How to live without that one person,
The darkness staring at you,
Asking soul shattering questions,
‘How to live now?’
‘What now?’
‘Where to go?’
The future,
We think about the future,
But the future is not coming,
It's just the present,
That goes on and on,
The vile void of nothingness,
Sometimes full of something,
The search for meaning mourning at your feet,
Waiting for you to look down for once,
Let it go, let it go,
The heart sinks solitarily,
The thum thum thum of it
Begging for you to
Let go,
The strings making it sink,
Leaving it lifeless,
Long for freedom.
The meaning never comes,
Not everything is meant to be logical,
Some things are absurd,
They stay absurd.
Then again,
Life goes on.
Subliminally I come before you;
I am bruised, covered in circumstances;
Through this life I am used;
Fashioned and shaving like a wooden dowel;
There is slow coming back from this;
People from the glass bottoms on trial;
Refusing their denials;
12/5/25
Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2025
I resent how life just carries on
After some are one-by-one gone.
I know we all have to move on,
But I'll remember them every dawn.
I resent being told how to feel.
Only few know how much grief is real.
Sometimes not even time can heal
The illnesses that come to steal.
I resent myself for being so blunt,
For writing to a grieving mother upfront,
After she lost her daughter to a "stunt,"
I realize I wrongly felt the need to confront.
I resent being told grief is meant to go away,
I said, "Will you grieve when I die someday?
Her child died, now she has lost her way.
You don't get how sometimes grief will stay."
Life goes on by Adejola Joseph
Life goes on
Live for today
And let tomorrow take care of itself
Life is fun
Don't hang somewhere being a sadist
Live life love life
Live to the fullest
Because life goes on.
Knowing
Seems to happen
In the domain of
The dream..with
Gifts of separation:
Writing and speaking and
Imagining and exploring..
Not knowing
Is synonymous with
No-separation..
A totality implying
The impossibility of
Knowing at all..
No compromise..yet
Amazingly
Life goes on..!
Aquamarine horizon with crimson hue unfolds a picture of dawn,
Lose myself in a tranquil tangerine reverie...
My heart beams and beats softly inhaling the tenderness of your love,
Earth's music envelops my soul,
Life goes on even though hopes are crushed.
My path would not drift from yours,
How did I not know where my true love was!
A symphony of chimes soaring from a temple far away,
Flowers blossom serenading their fragrance and chanting their melodious songs,
Your fragrance brought me back to harmony of life !

Hey you, how are you feeling today?
Better than yesterday, or just the same way?
Did you eat, or maybe you didn’t
Went to bed hungry, but still you’re here, resilient.
Was it cold where you slept, or far too hot?
Did you find warmth in a blanket or warmth you forgot?
A hot shower, a cold bath
Life finds its way along the narrowest path.
Bills unpaid, the knock at the door,
Bailiffs calling, but you’ve been here before.
A job promotion, or another rejection
Life marches on in every direction.
A country at peace, or a country at war,
Family divided, or love restored.
Marriages crumble, couples engage
Life pens its story on every page.
And still, we rise, come what may,
One more step, into another day
Mistakes are made- you learn and move on
This you know
Life is no show
It's good or. Bad
Can be. Sad
If you die this no lie
Right or wrong
LifE GOES ON
Life Goes On--- I have finally stopped trying to figure life out, the lows and hows are not the reasons, I lost control, even when I was younger, my life just as bold. Now that I'm older everything that didn't make any sense was put on hold, as the clich'e says: " Life Goes On" I've tried to live asd close to what " Jesus" has instructed me to do. This is certainly the life in which " God " gave me, he's blessed me with brand new mercies each and everyday, I've be blessed to love and live in everyway, but, my greatest love that he's ever shown: My greatest gifts are my thhreee children, Salica, Brandon, Mark'us and they are still with me today, OK? so.... " I'm now like a dog chasing after a bone." yes, these are my greatest loves," " Life Goes On."
life goes on:
on leaving home-
It's all fun and games leaving home,
but the door will always be open
in case you need back in
Life goes on past my lifetime.
Hard to believe...
Bereft!
I think I shall watch from heaven.
Better than a blockbuster movie —
the other side of nasty and nice.
Shall I turn toward those golden streets?
Greet each day at the Pearly Gates?
Or shall I look downwards to my progenies
to see the mess or mass celebration.
I hear the ecstasy of choiring cherubim.
I turn toward fruity trees releasing
color, shape and scent.
I take an unforbidden bite.
Each bite releases endorphins.
Doubting her meal will turn out right.
Burnt rice, too crispy chicken.
Oh...oh...she’s turned her face
in the right direction.
Correction of error.
Giving thanks to God Almighty.
Now I’m all ears —
she has my attention.
Does she feel my smile?
I’ll hug her for awhile.

Life goes on
People dies and new are born.
What is our value?
We create pollution,cut tress.
Hurt our mother nature.
The one who has created us we are destroying that.
Our needs are turing into greed.
We humans kill each other.
Someone please do something.
Before we humans become extinct like moa.
Where is humanity gone?
The peace?
The beauty of nature?
The boundries we have created it we need to break it.
Let s make peace toghter not for ourselfs but for our childrens children.
Life goes on
How does life go on when it ends for the one you loved? When your entire world has been torn apart by heart shattering grief, how does it go on. The colors have dimmed, the laughter has been silenced, and the smiles will no longer warm your heart. how does life go on when the sun’s light no longer brightens your days? When the memories of a life you once had, flood back, drowning you in pain and anguish. how does life go on when it feels as if your heart no longer beats, and you struggle to pull for your next breath? They say that time heals all wounds. Will the passing of time be my savior, or will it be my tormentor? Will time heal the deep wounds that I have suffered, or will it remind me every day of what I have lost? How does life go on when my faith has been shattered? Will I be able to put the pieces back together? But the sobering fact is, life will go on, but it will never be the life I once knew, and I will always grieve for.
