Poetry is a captivating form of literature that embodies a sense of passion for a particular viewpoint, issue, or personal anecdote. Life is quite mesmerizing and the way that poets portray their experiences is sensational. Featured below is a piece of poetry from a fellow anonymous SJU student who in my opinion has a beautiful mind that produces exquisite compositions. Delve into this work… visualize the message….relate it to your own life….
“I am a crossroad, yet transient.
Ebbing and flowing against the tides of chance and change.
I believe this is how I am meant to live.
Never knowing the direction of the path I travel.
Feeling each pebble and stone beneath my feet.
And sometimes I stop and look around.
And sometimes I sprint aimlessly towards the sun, the moon, the stars perhaps, or maybe even the wind.
I believe it is no accident that I was given this life.
It is no accident to be a witness to the formation of friendships and the destruction of relationships.
To be a participant in someone’s life.
And to weep at unexpected and inevitable death.
To those adversaries I have planted seeds – some are trees, some are weeds.
Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between the two.
So I close my eyes and lean forward unto the next crazy venture beneath the skies.”
Stay creative Hawks.
