Be Still All Of Me


Why do I look always for answers
to my unhappiness, do
I look in vain because I am not
satisfied with what I have?
Am I a failure at long suffering,
will the negative and
positive poles always pull me in
different directions.
Will anything ever truly make me
happy, this is my question?

To be in want can take much control,
the heart cannot decide
direction, the life force pulsating
through me wants results,
my body members keep trying to run
but are not in unison,
my mind cannot figure out my true
desires, and my soul
just plain aches for conclusion.

Be still my heart and the direction
that eludes you will come.
Be still my pulse for to exert energies
now is of wastes.
Be still my members for to rant and
rave would be of no use.
Be still my mind for you have the
knowledge don’t loose
precious ground for to deny wisdom
is to be a fool on the run.
Be still my soul for you are my whole
existence, my claim to all
that I am.

Does anyone really know in which
way to walk or
how to ride life’s currents, this
might just be a
question not obtainable by anyone.

Ow I can really relate to this.

This may sound cliched but I think everyone has to find their way, their path.

a wonderful poem filled with yearning for answers to the questions that are the tips of all of your tongues.

the only thing I know is that the answer to life is "42," according to hitck hikers guide to the galaxy, anyway.

ok ranting here. an excellent poem.

"Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time".

Baltimore Grotto

"To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."

E.E Cummings.

"I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing" -faster MSP

"And you see, I kind of shiver to conformity
Did you see, the way I cower to authority, you see
And my life, it's a series of compromises anyway
It's a sham, and I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see" six by Paul Draper.
