Life is a Scavenger Hunt



Life
is about searching
moving about
looking for
specific items
be it a place
a time
a person
a feeling
an emotion
it’s the constant hunt
with an ending goal
of happiness
a life fulfilled,
a race to the finish line
picking up memorabilia
along the way
to create a shrine
of the scavenger hunt
of a life time
all of us
out there
searching
for the same contentedness
all of us
taking our own path
to make it
to the same places

in this race through life
we may lose ourselves
a time or two
but we all meet
at the finish line
to share the final prize
with you.

    Compelling. Maybe not my philosophy - quite - but almost you convince me. A poet can ask no more.

    Like a prayer... this is full of hope and serenity... the same I am in right now... I love this connection, in all the senses of the word. You and I, you and the rest of the world and finally with the Higher Power!

    Life is an exciting journey. And with
    a heart with open eyes we love.

    You've written this poem with a gentleness
    borne of love.

    somehow in a wasteland of human flesh, ideas, needs, fears and desires. That makes perfect sense to me. Very good my friend.

    We are born lost and from that day we start the never ending search to find who we are as we continuously evolve.

    Liked the aspects touched upon.

    Sometimes there's happiness in searching that is not there in finding one's goal.

    The delicacy and dynamics flow
    I read this poem every day... touching of magic

    Kay
    to me life is like exploration the mystery, is like a rope intertwined with the trifles of everyday life, rope to climbing day after day

    with love
