Truthfully it sounds like you've amassed many different quotes or wisdom-like phrases. One the surface them sound wise, but when you dig deeper and really think about them. You see they are only opinions without any evidence or real knowledge. No one knows what's after life. Sometimes the absurd is right. Are we here to grow? There really aren't any right answers only guesses.

Comment from Rubypond
Lovely write! I like the meat of the poem and your rhymes are spot on. I did find a little difficulty with the rhythm in places. I'm not an expert on meter, but I can pin point a few areas of examples that if smoothed may make it flow even better than it already does. "4th line of second paragraph" Perhaps use do not instead of contraction. Just a difference in hard and soft hits. The third paragraph as well. Now mind you, the poem is wonderful as is, this is only if you would like a more metered flow. Thank you for sharing!

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
"Once we accept we're here to grow
Our minds blossom by letting go
Eventually we come to know
Truth sets us free to overflow" I love this stanza.
You have rendered a lovely poem here that resounds with such simplicity and yet is so eloquent. Thank you for sharing your fine thoughts.

Comment from Ulla
Well, what I can say for sure is that we are only here for a little while. Whether we make a footprint are for other to judge and more often than not we will never know as we will have since long gone. Yes your poem made me think, as you can see. Ulla:)))

Good presentation. I like the straight forward speech set to a melodic tempo. Your last line is basic yet honest, yet truth can be interpreted differently. The problem with society today. Everyone thinks they are right. Great timing for such an inspirational poem.

Comment from HarryT
This work is a great cogitation on the meaning of life. Wonderful line: "We're Avatars of our Spirit." The rhyming works well as does the structure
I like the four line stanzas. The reader flows though the poem as he/she thinks about the meaning. An impressive job, I would have like to have seen the last word rhyme, but that's only me. Maybe truth is what we need to show.

Comment from roof35
This certainly resonates with me. I find the words to be accurate and only wish we would see more truth. It is a very confusing time in the USA and it is hard to know who or what to believe. Well written.

Comment from ESOSTINE
Truth is surely the key to freedom of the conscience. The world need to say things as they are and not as we wish and perceive, propelled by our interests. I cannot really agree less; well written! Thanks for sharing your inspirations. Lol!

Comment from equestrik
The depth of this writing is amazing. Your message is truth and I hope many read this and take it to heart. My favorite verse is: We're Avatars of our Spirit
It works the same for everyone
The uninformed tend to fear it
Once we agree, life has begun
Even though the length may turn folks away, I hope it doesn't. This is important. Thank you for writing this.
