Poem 4 poems I made with the 2 words (Life's journey) in mind.

Flower Of Life
Life is like a flame it wavers, flickers. and eventually will go out, and in the end we must all meet Death's cold embrace. In this world we have the chance to learn and grow on the journey from life to death. We are all fragile buds waiting to blossom and bloom, so treasure the precious time we have together.

I Am Who I Am
I am an ocean. Calm and peaceful at times, but capable of drowning others in misery. I am the tundra, cold and unforgiving to those who are unknown to me. I am the soldier. I live with honor and fight for others. I am a twisting path in life, both confusing and straight forward. I am a journal and a diary, there to listen and there to cry to. I am the weather, always changing.

The Truth?
As I look and stare into the eyes of uncertainty, I realize that I have been hypnotized by ways beyond normal human comprehension. Point of view, and ones own opinion are much the same. Both are concerns, ideals, and forms of individuality. They are what make us human. Though everyone may seem different, we are all the same.

The Price Of Power
I toss away everything I once cared about, for what I believe leads to happiness. In the pursuit of power and social standing I have turned a blind eye on what is truly important: my family, friends, and moral values. As my heart gets colder while the fire in my eyes is slowly extinguished, and as my soul fades to a black nothingness from which no light will enter or escape. I must ask myself: "What have I done?!" I have gained power and social standing. However in doing so I have given into the devil as he hisses in my ear, like a slithering serpent in the Garden Of Eden. I have given into temptation and partaken of the forbidden fruit. I have strayed from the path of righteousness. I have gone against my personal beliefs. Even though I have gained. I have truly lost everything in the never ending cavern that is my life, and yet I am only human.
