We got nothin'
but time,
vast and
elusive
To learn
to grow
to give
We got nothin'
substantial
but ourselves
And desire
for love
inextinguishable
To share,
to live higher,
to imprint
before leaving
To write a poem,
to plant a garden
for tomorrow
We got nothin'
but arms
'round each other
And
our hymns
of hope.

There is something about this poem that makes it almost song like. I could really see this along with some great music being something I would listen to. Isn't this what we all want from life, someone to love and a legacy that lasts when we are gone. A beautiful poem that really has got me thinking today. Excellent and many thanks for taking the time to enter my contest.

WOW! Very Powerful!
Sorry, I am at a loss for words. I wish I could totally quote the whole poem here. There was not a word that I did not like, a phrase that wasn't true. I could feel every word, every syllable. I can visualize everything that you mention, and relate to it like it was, or has happened to me. And yes, we all have purpose in life whether we know what that purpose is or not. For some of us it is simply to comfort and be there for others, and in some ways we are all here for each other no matter what we go through. Good? Bad? Indifferent? What does it matter when you have someone to share it with. I loved it! Thank you so much for letting me experience this very powerful poem of yours. Thank you for the opportunity to read it and experience your thoughts and feelings. Keep up the good work and good luck in the contest. -

Beautiful write. I think this says a lot about life. I think we all want to leave some sort of mark on the world of art, our thoughts and to have love in life. Keep writing.

Liked the brevity of the lines, the flow, the alliteration and the message shared in this poem. Hymns of hope is a lovely ending as well. Nice to get that to write a poem in here.
