    Over and over again until one morning you don't wake up. :D
    Probably there's more meaning, but that's the bare bones of it. :eek:

    Sometimes that's all it feels like, and maybe that's all it is. Who knows. Well that's all my baby knows and she seems pretty happy with it.

    Just for the record, I'm not an American, but I know most people here are, so I kind of projected their image onto me.

    And no, you're not alone, I want to die before life has taken all the best from me.

    Lucy: Why do you think we're put here on earth, Charlie Brown?

    Charlie Brown: To make others happy.

    Lucy: I don't think I'M making anyone happy...
    Of course, nobody's making me happy either...

    we are a field
    we are a-glow
    we are a spark - that turns to thought

    we touch with flesh
    we touch with breath
    a wave sent out, an energy prone

    we're here to learn
    we're here to share
    enhance this world
    we love, we hate

    we bend and break
    we spread our wings
    we yield and die
    yet still go on

    for all our energy
    and family and friends
    we are all one - yet so alone
    we're all sentient snowflakes

    oh yeah, sorry, I would have noticed that if I took the time to look. Just read the jelly and peanut butter bit and assumed. Never heard of anyone but americans liking that combination or calling jam jelly.

    Hmm, that's not exactly what I meant, I don't want to die before I get old, I'm fine with getting old and past my prime. I don't know, it's the thought of FOREVER that scares me. That is one concept that I am still yet to comprehend.

    life is you. (all life forms)
    life is me. (all life forms)
    life is alive. (to share)
    life is dieing. (to move on)
    life is yours. (for others)
    life is mine. (for others)
    life isn't yours. (it is everyones)
    life isn't mine. (it is everyones)
    life is light-years in the future. (ours)
    life is light-years in the present. (ours)
    life is light-years in the past. (ours)
    life is not a clock on your kitchen wall. (remove it)
    life is not an alarm-clock on your night-stand at 4am. (remove it)
    life is not 24 hrs, repeated. (burn your calendars)
    life is beautiful like endless fields of wild-flowers a woman lays in for the sun.
    life is ugly from hate, murder, and rape.
    life is full of joy and pain.
    life is empty. (black-hole void)
    life is hungry for answers. (internal library)
    life is starving and sick.
    life grows above and below.
    life shrinks.
    life is the stormy skies filled with lightening and thunder. (let is pour out)
    life is deep blue skies fulla birds and tree-tops.
    life is the driest desert in your eyes.
    life is only the smallest ocean. (our personal fluids)
    life touches beyond stars. (our dreams)
    life is only that.
    life is more than that.
    life produces life.
    life has no way of ever ending.
    but i must end this now, it would be never-ending if i didn't.
    the end. (never)

    Ohh, I see...

    Well, forever is past all comprehension of the human brain...
    so is 'infinite' !

    Thank you chadwick. It's nice to be reminded that life is not 24 hrs repeated. People could give themselves a lot more freedom when they realise that and think of everyday as something new rather then the same thing over and over again. Nice work

    So I'm not the only one that can't comprehend it? That's good to know. But it actually makes me sick in the gut to even try to imagine it.

    yes, I agree. some great poems. That's just what I was hoping for when I started this thread. Keep 'em coming everyone. Love it

    life is,
    the thorns that rip my skin apart exposing death beneath
    life is,
    the rusting breath that eats away my lungs
    life is,
    all i can not be and everything i don't want
    life is,
    death, the beginning of the end.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    I like this poem. It sounds negative in a way, but when I read it again it actually sounds just like honesty, reality, what life really is. Did you mean it to be negative?

    yes.
    i can't remember what i was thinking, or what kind of mood i was in when i wrote it, but right now this is how i feel my life to be.
    hear my name
