Original Poem, "Life"

This is my first original poem that I wrote about a year ago. I was inspired to write it, because I would be constantly walking by myself and I would always catch my self suddenly looking to either direction as if something had abruptly moved. Nothing was ever there, so it got me thinking of abstract ideas and thoughts; eventually, I wrote down one of these thought processes and ended up with this poem.

“Life”

Jon Skovira

As I walk through a nameless place

What lifeless motion catches my eye?

Nothing, No one present

But jolting reflex causes my head to turn,

Suddenly.

Nothing, no one present

Life is prominent, even here

This nameless place abundant

With goals, dreams and future.

This place, is my own.

Not yet written, not yet thought.

What lifeless motion catches my eye?

The fractional thought of all that is mine.
