Lessons Learned... Poem by Cosmic Dreamer

Lessons Learned...

Rating: 5.0


I sit and stare into the vastness of space,
Desperate to find my path and my place.
I ponder what's gone and what's yet to be,
When shall this heart I own ever be free.

Is it a known fact, or just a guess?
That life means little and death means less.
That through all this sorrow, grief and pain,
We shall live our life's in utter vain.

I like to think we're meant for much more,
That the life we live shall tally a score.
And the souls we lost amidst such sorrow,
Shall hold us close in our final tomorrow.

Yet the truth I fear is not what I yearn,
We should all seek to be a lesson to be learned.
For each generation must add to the last,
So we do not repeat the mistakes of our past...

Spread the love... The peace will follow...

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I believe we are all the puzzle pieces in an ultimate plan... There is no God, no Devil... We create good and evil in our own thoughts and deeds... Heaven and hell are here and now upon the face of this earth... We have the power to rid the world of hell and create heaven... Yet we can only do it when we unshackle the chains of religion and work together as one... I fear I may not live long enough to see this beautiful chapter in our existence...

Please prove me wrong...
