Sit, if you will, for one brief moment and think of that one person... you know the one.
Look into those eyes. Think of exactly what you see. Think of exactly what you feel. Now, look deeper... Think of why.
Now, come back to reality. Think of the world around you. Think of all the problems that exist in your life. Think of the torments of those things you pain over everyday. Think of the stress the intricate dilemmas cause you. Think of the burdens you bear. Reflect on all the things that cause you to sit and question why... Why do you have to suffer through these things... Why can’t things be better than they are for you... Why does so much bad surround you each and everyday. Why even bother to go on...
Then, think again, of what you see in those eyes.

That’s why.

Is it worth it? Then, if it is... and trust me, it is... cherish the gift that God has given to you through those eyes, and realize that no matter how bad it gets, what you see in that person’s soul will carry you through. I know... I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t true, so I can indeed state my life on it, and the burdens have surely tested me.

Now admit it to yourself. Then admit it to the bearer of those eyes. Then share, the two of you, the reason “why” to the rest of the world... one person at a time.
One person at a time? Is it any feat of speakable worth?

Sit, if you will, for one brief moment and think of that one person... you know the one.

As a footnote, albeit a bit more free prose, as is a lot of my work... I still classify under poetry, and this one is a gift for all my fellow poetic friends and those yet to be... Hopefully everyone has had at least one moment with that one...

I have a few friends in Passions that I felt compelled to try to bring this one back to life for. Hope it works...

Purity, I'm not sure why this post is 'disappearing' from the thread list. I found it, after reading Evegnosis's reply to your 'Isis' poem, through the search function. I brought it up with a test post...deleted that, and the poem disappeared again. Hence - these two test posts. I'm putting this thread over to the moderator's forum so Ron, the site owner, can have a look at the problem. Hopefully we'll be able to delete these test posts soon. If there are any further problems with this, or any other threads, please let me know.

The thread is still in the list, even with the two test posts removed. The thread just isn't at the top of the list, in spite of Purity's reply to his own thread. You can't bump your own thread, remember?
