A Life Worth Living

A life worth living
Men utter such words
Without regret in their heart
Nor wrinkle to their touch

Without wisdom in his tongue
Or studder to his step
Many summers in his heart
Two footsteps into his quest

A life worth living
How can you savor such words
Moistening of the pallet
The universe setting into the iris

A map for whats to be seen
Showing you where to look
How to look and what you see
Yet we still miss pertinent things

A life worth living
How can you measure such words
Is the key to expansion in knowing
Or the means to pacify

Neon moons, spirits, and souls
Living lives worth nothing
Beyond the ones irreparably changed
Refusing to bloom for spring

A life worth living
Words i draw on
Relishing nice and slow
Looking for adjoinment

I search for the
Epiphany within you
So that we can be
The uncontested truth

Bored in this place
Discontent in my eyes
Restlessness in my soul
Thoughts that aren't wise

Wiping static from my brow
Dusting time from my chest
Inactive activity actively searches for a quest

One hundred percent capability running lower than five
Looking into a vast cavity
Once occupied by life

Universal enormity
Ponderings relative to that size
Quasars represent this stagnation over time
Examine my vast beauty and humor me with whats surmised

For all the things we least expect
From the love we often neglect
Life and all is prospect

Words of the departed slow and soft
Smiles from the disheartened slightly aloft
Finding ways to forward the cost

Mine eyes have seen the glory
Narration and author of another story
What was promised was not what was left for me

My life and all that i possess
My strength beauty and depth
The greatest arts created all inept

Smiles gently placed between discontent
Found agnosticism listed next to kin
Searching without looking
Live on a whim

"The world i know is a world to slow"
Waiting for masses to become those who know
Planting seeds to reap what i sow

Ethos
Logos
Pathos
