Life Metaphor Poems - Poems about Life Metaphor

Man Is Like The Grains Of Sand

Man is like the grains of sand,
in the hourglass of eternity.
Reincarnating with every turn of the glass,
continually changing while staying the same.

The same eternal energy,
moving from one location
in the eternal continuum.

It changes its appearance
by its intent and its purpose
 through its intelligence.

Seeds Of The Soul

In our souls lie all the seeds,
Waiting patiently to meet our needs.
Soulfully waiting for us to choose,
For us to use or abuse.

We plant our seeds in our garden of life,
The seeds we choose will bring joy and strife.
Many we’ll plant, but all will not flourish,
Much depends on how much we nourish.

Some that are planted will

IN THE WAKE OF POLITICAL RENDERINGS

IN THE WAKE OF POLITICAL RENDERINGS   

In today’s diabolical
Political renderings,
Let’s not be like
Naked sage trees:
Leaves and fruits rotting
In unjust, bigoted political dirt:-
Rather, today let’s spring into life
And be like un-cocooned butterflies,
Soaring free and prepared as ought to be:
Pollinating flowering life with justice and equality:-
And like hived bees, let’s be about the honey flowing
Of

Improvising Existence

Improv is an unscripted comedy form.
Starting with an idea for a sketch,
actors interact with each other,
making up things as they go.

As one person responds to another,
“No, but…” squashes spontaneity,
while “Yes, and…” builds the banter,
propelling witty action forward.

Quick and clever dialogue
promises even more to come.
Then, after finding an apt ending,
a brand-new sketch can begin.

Our lives are

Autumn Leaves

They fall from grace to grass,
aged, scorched and dehydrated,
fluttering away further
the vanity of previous
greenness and elevated times,
reminding us of the fragility
of life,
the futility of striving to hang on
when time is up.

TO BEING HERE ON THIS GLORIOUS DAY

TO BEING HERE ON THIS GLORIOUS DAY

Because you are in it,
This is a blessed day
To enjoy and be glad in:-

While some have been called in,
You have been given another day
To be an instrument of His Peace
And a daily reflector of His Love:-

Despite the painful challenges,
This day will confront you with,
Healing grace and divine wisdom
Shall guide

WITH HOPE FAITH IN THE PROMISE

WITH HOPE AND FAITH IN THE PROMISE  

Like roaring rivers flowing under bordering bridges,
Cascading over, under, and around blocking stones,
So must we be as we continue to struggle
Along the freedom road to promise equanimity:-

As we encounter injustice’s walls of opposition,
Let us approach them as remnants of Jericho: 
Their fate and destiny, victims of fortitude

Once upon perdition

The apostate looked out his window, and started to believe
As genuflecting pylons sent ramifications through the trees
Chaos questioned reason, hoping for a guilty plea
but the world was too far gone, so began the killing spree

The Crier rang his leper bell: “Our town’s a godless apparition”
Filling hearts with envy of a once-dreaded condition
Now the King prayed

Life is a battlefield

This life is a fierce battlefield,
Little did I know before my birth,
My weapons should have been better honed,
So no earthly force could conquer me.

Friends I made while I was nobody,
Turned to foes when I sought to be somebody,
Those I loved with all my heart and soul 
Blew pepper in my eyes when vision blurred. 

Deceit

Usefulness

All gifts must be given to sustain their usefulness.
Like blood, life is in the flow, if not flowing, blood dries and dies.
Movement, the constant changing, sustains the life of all living entities of creation.

The Sun gives energy that sustains life on Earth.
It renews itself every night by sharing the job
of lighting the Earth with the

My intent is wordless

In the wilderness of bewilderment,
Sculpting different sorts of thoughts,
Where intent fades, needing no interment,
And truth exudes from all its rots.

There lies the stark resolve for my future,
A slender hope of life ahead,
Bound together by a catgut suture,
That time corrodes until it's shed.

All kept away from prying eyes,
Ever before my intent was conceived,
Just to keep all

Life Of A Cigar

A cigar is appreciated simply,
By observing how it is burned.
From where it starts till it ends,
The fire erases its way forward.
As the smoke favors consume,
It's like life how the story goes
From birth to its maturity show.
Going forward written as will,
Like history unfold its all done,
Read every pages up to the end.
Retold its content to every

Learn From The Ant

You look at the ant, 
He doesn't carry as much
Weight as he can do.

Ant share load to ease
Never tired of sharing work
They're busy body.

Seldom they sleep
Day and night they are working
Supply service chain.

They're never out lack
They have zealous hands and feet
Never lazy thing. 

Believe in numbers
That is their core strength  
United they stand. 

Are

Clouds Blowing in the Wind

The clouds are swirling in the wind,
Unique designs appear within.
An artist’s brush could be the air,
For many forms are found up there.

Look up there, it’s a swimming whale,
‘Twill quickly change with the next gale.
It seems so strange to change so much,
It makes it hard to keep in touch.

There’s a ship with the flag raised high,
It

JERICHO AWAKENING

JERICHO AWAKENING

Deception has always been
A strategy and ally of injustice;
Veiling its ruthless deeds,
And shifting attention
From aged-old atrocities,
While living and percolating
Behind invisible Jericho walls:-

Let not the reality 
Of new Jericho borders
Blind and deceive us:-
Legislative freedom and unity
For so-called refugees, 
Remain at hand, and
Our struggle to be masters
Of ourselves continues;
We being caged and considered
Refugees in this, our
