A N I M U S Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin
A N I M U S
The will to live
And the will to live
With a purpose
Are the
Fuel of life.

Without a purpose, our lives have no soul. The repetition of the opening line so brilliantly emphasizes that it's not enough to just live...live with a purposeful passion!
So true! You express a very profound truth of humanity in a very simple and short yet brilliant way! You also have a perfect name for this piece! Thank you for sharing this : )
Such excellent lines, with such powerful implications! Indeed, you make your point well, although I would extend it to say that the will to live can only come from love--either love for oneself, or love for God and people--and what defines our purpose is which love we chose to rule us!
