A concept of life

User Rating:

9.1 /10
(69 votes)



  Life needs no praise
Than summer or a pearl-
Sole justification of our soul and being
Though a breath of passing air.
Beyond it what the world could hold

Save desire of not what we see
But what we dream we are,
And hungry for life we die
With belief in another life
As pilgrim of the infinite.

The belief and faith in 'Life after Life' is what keeps us motivated in this world which sometimes makes a feel a little hopeless. Thank goodness for that!
Thank you for sharing this - short, sweet and so refreshing.

We are a 'breath of passing air' but not all that have breath have life. We live by faith...not by sight. 'What the world could hold' is not necessarily what makes us 'hungry for life' but it is the hope of God that opens our eyes and shows us that the 'breath of passing air' can be the gentle breeze that can cool a sorrowed heart.


With belief in another life
As pilgrim of the infinite.

yoonoos, this reminds me of the Masters (Shakespeare, Hughes, Keats....) It's a poem of great depth, beautifully done. Thanks for sharing.
