This Life Mysterious Poem by William Jackson
This Life Mysterious
This life fragile all too easily shatters.
Three tragedies I will never understand,
Crushing beauty, flowering hate, loss of innocence.
This life sorrowful breaks my heart.
Three states of being I will never comprehend,
Young cruelty, misogyny, willing victims.
This life confounding I cannot easily grasp.
Three failings I will never accept,
Love of ignorance, basking in stupidity, giving up.
And yet,
This Life lovely lives in me immortal.
Three realities I understand. We only seem to die,
Seeds grow, and God is our source.
This Life alive sings to me.
Three things I accept but cannot fully fathom.
God’s patience, God’s goodness, the divine image of man.
This Life resilient feels deeply.
Three truths I hope to manifest.
(Mercy, kindness, gentleness) ,
The human heart divine.
Hi William took a break on the site, but I do come and read. It are so right. Life is a mystery. I too am going through the same right now. It is hard. I really understand how you feel.
I think you're manifesting your truths with this beautiful poem, Will. Wonderful perspective into life's both positive and negative aspects. We muddle through and just do the best we can - and 'every now and then a little light shines through.' Linda
Great stuff, William... brilliantly crafted and powerfully stated. I don't think the ending could have been better. Well done! ! Brian

'This Life Mysterious' and yet we are the conduits by which change is recognized! I view your resolve. Although there is an admitted reluctance to accept the complexity of man's 'evolution'. Nice depiction and well written, William! L
