Best Long Life Poems

A Reflection Upon A Long Life Lived




So many things in my life have come and gone
   idle days of fishing and resting in shade
Early morn sight of mother deer and newborn fawn
   so many of the sweet , dear friends made

Holidays...

Feet meander through  their slow walks
on  damp benches along the rotunda ...
an elderly pair grips the stem of their
parasol , inhaling the breath of dusky wisps,
as if the gray of their tresses 
holds the seams of hours watching 
this evening turn inky blue...

And...

He’s lived a long life;
Now his days are short.
So he's slowed down,
Yet, time flies by
Even faster.

Our life is a real drama

In such a colorful gamma.

Our life is just a moment,

Sometimes with a torment.

Just have enough patience

To keep good relations,

To love truly and forgive.

You won’t believe 

But today I cried away.

Someone thought it was a shame,

Someone comforted, didn’t blame,

Someone said: life...

To long life I cleave 
To sound health I hold 
Its been a short long journey 
So far 

Looking down the years 
Of *unrival-able* favour 
From the unrivalled God 

In my trepidation 
down the years 
The devil had landed 
Punches... 
Alas I have a strength...

My heart is full of anguish
‘Bout my feelings I can’t resist
The desolation it brings by-gone,
It makes myself burdensome.

My heart until now breaks into pieces
‘Cause I can’t recover from bitterness
This pain I felt is unlimited
And it really makes myself desolated!

I felt that I’m always bedridden
About the...

Keep your eyes as red as Mars
Mouth orange as the setting Sun
Your body yellow as half moon
The mouth green as inmates
Let your passion be blue as sky 
But wear indigo Magpie smiles
Without any violet character...

long life comes from the Path of Tao
it is the infinite depth of our own internal world
it is worldly harmony as one 
exploring the realms of destiny, karma, and good
not a way out
but, a way through life's twists and turns
the beauty of Tao is that...

While walking in the misty morn of yore
One dismal dark decaying depraved day 
I was suffocating with the sounds of the dying city

Slowly coming to life with the dawning sun 
Surrounded by the sounds of chaos, disorder
Dark, dangerous despairing thoughts
Of dangerous terrible acts to come

All...

wu wei is the path of Tao
of going with the flow of nature
a metaphor of water
which adapts to any shape
always flowing
always yielding
soft, yet in time can cut
and shape rock

               ...

A long life has no elegy

Tears flood my eyes but they fail to flow
We counted a full life and pain is no more
What words can tears script on my face
Crying for myself is all that makes sense
If every day of our lives is God-made
Then God...

Enjoy a long life the tortoise can,
But there is limit to its life span;
The winged snake rides high in the skies,
But it finally turns to dust when it dies;
Though in a stable an old steed is kept,
To gallop a thousand miles it does expect;
Although an...

L-ong life and lasting peace
A-re sought by every man; 
R-each for God's heavenly abode, 
R-endering best service
Y-ou can.

V-ery nice promised land, 
E-ver glorious holy city; 
L-ife eternal is in store, 
L-ife there is ecstasy.
A-ugust eighteenth morn, 
J-oyful feeling you won't miss; 
E-uphoria is in paradise,...

Lost and alone without my love
How can I live on without her?
Life is so empty and unfulfilled
I feel helpless without her
She was my rock and inspiration
Everything we did we did together
She gave me purpose and meaning
She deserved so much more in life!
But she knew well...

A beauty with love
A beauty with obsession
A beauty with life

Lavender flowers
White, pink, purple, mauve also
Perfect bliss in mind

Deciduous vine
Symbolizing obsession
Add colours in our mind

With lightly scented
Bath in strong sunlight
With poisonous seed

True bliss of nature
Perfect ornamentation
A solace of mind

Stunner of nature
Enchanting to heavy eyes
Gift of our...
