-The Meaning Of Life-

I want to give you a word
it is the meaning of life
Take it how you want
Mold it how you can
Here is my word
______________

Did you get it?
Did you understand?
How did you miss it?
Here… here is my word again
______________

Do you understand?
Do you see it now?
How can you miss my word?
It is clear as day
______________

I see it
I see it now
I am looking and I see it
It is there and you know it
______________

It is in front of your face
Can you not see its marvel?
Are you blindfolded?
I know it is there
_______________

There is my word
Why don’t you understand it?
I gave it to you
You have it to keep
______________

Why cant you get it?
Hold it
Mold it
Form it to your needs
______________

You’re passing it by
You left it there alone
Took it for granted
And show you don’t care
______________

Take you time to see it. Please!
I am begging on my knees
Don’t give up on this beautiful word
To pass it by like nothing is so absurd  
______________

I gave it to you
A word that you never knew
Your whole life you have past it by
And never asked yourself  “why?”

    Fantastic

    This poem is great. it seems like it was written by a philosopher. i myself am extremely into philosophy, and this has a very philisophical flow to it. Also, i loved the expressions used. this is a great poem, and i REALLY enjoyed it. keep up the great work. =)

    I HEEEEAAAARRRRTTTT THIS!!!!

    What an amzing and intellectual idea!!!! its flows so lovely and teaches us all that we all walk through life "blidnfolded". we need to be aware of who we are. we miss the greater picture in life because we are caught up in the small things. Wow!!! this poem really opened my eyes. you've lifted the blindfold off of my eyes. it is beyond inspirational, this original piece makes me believe it is a blessing and a privilege to be alive...truly beautiful. i adore it sincerely.
    Love,

    Very cleaver. In order to find the answers we must ask the questions.

    Kept me guessing to the end...
    lol...
    just like life I guess.

    Great job

    How can anyone understand the meaning of life. We all have to blunder and stumble our way through it. You can only live life, gather memories, experiences and then comprehend what the hell it's about. Cool write.
