So will I live
Like a half lizard
I should live in
With a space of snake.
I must live because
I have come, not
As a man or a being
For all tell to live.
I live not because
I should live
I live only as
One day I have to leave.
Living not for my sake
Just living for I am alive.
Absurd, yes! 'Living not for my sake'? The ego finds 'Just living for Iam alive' The soul finds Living for just living An empty life without aim A life finds Fear of dying by the minute The ego finds If only it will seek the soul Purpose will encounter Its entire life ------ Did I solve a riddle here? Was that the meaning to your poem? My perspective. Your writing touches a critica point to all life in search beyond a material existence. Read my poems and enjoy. Rate and comment if you will at your time. Thanks
Its a lovely poem. I wonder though, it the symbolism of a snake and lizard are used in biblical or rather religious context or o historical? It is a very powerful allegory taht yopu have used and I like it very much and have a poem a little bit similar to yours in terms of the motif or theme of existence
