Begin with the happiness,
the abundance,
and learn from them,
love.
Love will be returned thousands of times,
becoming the bedrock of your experiences,
disappointments and joys.
Experience the essence of creativity,
its depths and eternal life.
Eternal Life: A Journey Through Love and Creativity
Dear Poets,
In "Eternal Life," I delve into the profound interplay between happiness, love, life experiences, and the endless depths of creativity. This poem is a reflection on how these elements intertwine to form the tapestry of our existence.
The Genesis of Joy
"Begin with the happiness, the abundance,"
Life's journey often starts with happiness and abundance. These moments, brimming with joy and fullness, are not just fleeting experiences but lessons in themselves. They teach us about the richness of life and the potential for growth.
The Power of Love
"and learn from them, love."
Love is not just an emotion; it's a teacher. Through love, we understand empathy, connection, and the profound impact of our actions on others. It's a force that, when given freely, returns manifold, enriching our lives.
The Foundation of Experiences
"Love will be returned thousands of times, becoming the bedrock of your experiences, disappointments and joys."
Every experience, be it a disappointment or a joy, is underpinned by love. It’s the foundation that supports us through various phases of life, shaping our perceptions and responses.
Creativity as a Lifeline
"Experience the essence of creativity, its depths and eternal life."
Creativity is not just an act of producing art; it's a way of living, a mode of perceiving the world. It has depths that are boundless and an essence that grants a form of eternal life—not in the literal sense, but through the enduring impact of our creative expressions.
In "Eternal Life," my aim is to evoke a sense of continuity and depth in the aspects of love, happiness, and creativity. It's an ode to the undying essence of our emotional and creative experiences, which together weave the eternal tapestry of life.
With heartfelt words,
E. A . Bland
P.S. Embrace the happiness and love in your life; let them guide your creative spirit towards the eternal essence of expression. Stay poetic!
