Purposeful Or Purposeless ?

What Is my purpose ?
Why am I here?
Go to work ,day in and day out
It's just existence , no fears.

A hum drum life,
working just to feed my house,
Put food up on the table
food for my cat, not a mouse!

On the train, to work
It's monotonous - every day,
Hey ! now I've found Opuss
Keeps the boredom at bay.

Why am I here ?
I breathe , I live , I smile,I cry,
I eat, I drink , I sleep, and eventually I'll die.

I also volunteer with the elderly, but
I feel I was meant to do so much more,
i'm still not doing enough,
as giving is part of my existence , it's never a chore.

They say that charity begins at home,
I don't have much to spare,
I have enough to pay all the bills,
but all I have, I am happy to share..

that's fun and laughter,
and some of my spare time,
Some kind gentle words,
A smile, a hug, and a little rhyme.

What is my purpose ?
Why do I exist ?
Guess I just got to get thorough
My long bucket list..

Bungee jump next !

Hi fellow Opussians ! I am a published poet having been writing since I was 16. Having had poetry published in poetry anthologies. My life has been too busy to say the least over the last 6 years and so my son Daniel Hing a Ling has persuaded me to put pen to paper and start writing again and join in on the Opussian way of life!

Back To Normality

I'd love to know if normality actually exists. I mean, if life was constantly 'normal' every day how would we define ourselves. See here's what I think: Today I came across a problem I couldn't fix.

If Not Now, Then When?

We push ourselves so we can have a better tomorrow. Why can’t we push to have a better today. We work hard so that we will appreciate life in the future.

One Step Away, One Moment

Moment is God. If you do not enjoy it, of whom do you enjoy. Eternity is collected in present times. Not the past nor the future. Past and future are illusions.

You, Yourself......

I believe in the various forms of expression. I wait patiently each day to be confronted by something truly thought provoking, beautifully unique, intriguing or just....something else.

Anyone

This is for anyone. Who ever had doubt. Who once felt alone. Or just wanted to shout. Our lives are so fragile. They break they don't bend. So we pick up the pieces. And we try to pretend.
