Meaning of Life
Destined to evolve
To our spiritual nature
How do we get there
We’re not really sure
Few have walked that road
And spoke in metaphors
Revealing life’s meaning
In rhetorical words
Most of mankind
Don’t know there own mind
Caught up in their world
Always searching to find
The thing that’s right for them
It’s novelty wearing off
Thoughts of a new thing
Make you turn all soft
You think it’ll last forever
But it never does
But something new will pick you up
Keeping you on that buzz
All these things are temporary
But they keep you occupied
While all the time your spirit
Locked away on the other side
Your destiny is to get through
And live life through your spirit
Where reality will be revealed
And you’re a part of everything in it.
It’s all from the one source
That everything has come
The meaning of life
Is to evolve until we are one
When every single thing
Is the most important thing to you
When you know the consequences
Of everything you do
When all of life has the same value
As the one you love the best
If you share with your neighbour
And in their life invest
The road will open up for you
And reveal life’s true meaning
But beware of your ego
It always is deceiving

Poetry: Meaning of life
by Brian Benson
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY.....I GREW UP FAST
When I was a little boy
We played from dawn til dark
Chasing baseballs hit aloft
In
The meaning of Life I ponder
How can good conquer evil? I often wonder
To make a difference I must
By showing of love and
your dragonfly
the beautiful nuisance
I dreamed myself to be
has stayed too long
passed waking
to be of worth to anyone
who resides
Life is a Mirrage
I hear your whispers
I feel your kisses
But it all seems like a dream
With every moment passing
And every secret
A questioned pondered by many, understood by a few
Our purpose, meaning, reason for being,
What were we created to do?
