Something to Live For



A mind like a steel trap
But inclined to snap
Shut at any moment
Was the way I was

Of course all of that went
Away with my mind
In that way that it does

I was left behind
By what I thought I knew
What I thought was true
Had turned out not to be

And I had been wrong
Had to go mad to see
I was all along

The only thing to do
Was start over then
When everything was new
Try to try again

There where life had brought me
Try by love to find
What my mother taught me

Of the meaning of
Life being only love
A reality
Too good not to be true

Nothing less nor more
Than something to live for

This poem tells a lot about who you were at a definite point in your life, and who you wound up becoming. Even so, the eventual person you finally, after many trials and errors, became is the man you were supposed to be. Congratulations’!

Visions of A Skylark Dressed in Black by Aberjhani

“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to
