My Life Poem by ANDREW BLAKEMORE
My Life
My life seems unimportant as I wrestle in the shadows,
And feel that all my days have been a curse,
So little I've achieved for all my words are soon forgotten,
And lost within the rhymes of clouded verse.
For no one shall remember me when I am here no longer,
Nor place a single flower on my grave,
Or kiss the stone where I do lie or weep a mourning teardrop,
A kindly word for me no one shall save.
The grass shall grow around me there until my name is hidden,
Which over time will slowly fade away,
Until no one can read it then my stone will surely crumble,
So ridden by the forces of decay.
Its dust shall blow upon the wind and never will it settle,
My spirit too shall never find a home,
But go on searching for the dream I never found when living,
Across the hills and mountains I shall roam.
Or kiss the stone where I do lie or weep a mourning teardrop, A kindly word for me no one shall save............ sensitive and picturesque..... liked it
Andrew, you're very honest and transparent, describing the emptiness all of us feel at one time or another, the meaningless of life at times. I like the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible (I'm not a churchgoer and dislike the formality and staleness of religion) , in which Solomon describes some of the same feelings and thoughts that you do. Here's a quote I like very much: Of all worldly relationships, abide in me above all: first, last and always. Be not surprised, in this proper order of esteem, other worldly relationships are in fuller measure, in greater love. -Jesus, quoted in 'A 20th Century Miracle' Jesus told me personally: don't join another church...stay away from religion...read my words daily...commit your life each day to Me for satisfaction and fulfillment...i will strengthen you, i will help you...be yourself...think for yourself... Keep up the very honest poetry. You have the courage to reveal who you really are rather than put on a phony front. That's integrity.
I dont think your poems will be easily forgotton Andrew. sad and touching. Ann
