Life's Beauty Is Lost Poem by Lyn Paul

Life's Beauty Is Lost

Rating: 5.0


The Colour of my skin, is just a colour
The Religion I believe, Is only My belief
The money that I have, Is at my own cost
The freedom I am given is not always my choice
The love that I receive, Is often not enough
The love I can give is the amount that I choose to give
The food that I eat is often only temptations
The food that I need, may not be a choice
The air that I breathe, allows me to stay alive
The beauty of life is not understood
The importance of living is more than the speed of life
Nothing is natural
Beauty is lost
Words no longer meaningful
What we want
What we truly need
Is just the Beauty of Living

This is not true as this poem of beautiful and lasting content perfectly belies and the gradual accretion of beautiful poems on this site and in the world. The great point of this poem is that so much is personal choice and in itself beauty is very much founded in personal perceptions, emotions, circumstances and experiences. Well written.

Well written as ever Lyn, I think we only truly see and appreciate the simpler things in life as we get older and take the time to stop a while and really look at and appreciate what we have been blessed with and the beauty of nature that surrounds us and not the things we don't have.

Never forget about a thing, being thankful..and look that what we received as something, and we will see that how lucky we are, and life even look beautiful than ever when we have that insight! _Soul

Beautiful poem from your pen. This poem reflects in many angles. Many things may not be our choice. Yet, there may be something of our choice, or in other way we have to make some choice to make our life beautiful.....Very true said in few lines.... What we want What we truly need Is just the Beauty of Living Loved the way you presented it.
