This Being Human Is

 Foot, Toes, Question, Universal, Being, Becoming

This being human is a quest

from birth to our final breath

along the way we travel many

paths making decisions at

the crosswalks of life

 

This being human is a gift

one not to be taken lightly

we are stewards of the earth

there is no other place that

we can live in a bodily state

 

This being human is a river

always flowing towards the

ocean  facing the challenges

of strong and calming waters

navigating the currents of life

 

This being human is a tree

growing roots and branching

out in uniqueness and beauty

connected to the earth, yet

always reaching for the heavens

 

This being human is a mystery

searching for clues to solve

what we cannot comprehend

the unsolved riddles of life,

death and everything in between

 

“Sometimes we're just Being Human, but we're always Human Beings.” - JD Fortune."

  2. I’m glad you joined us with ‘This being human’, Truedessa. There is still time to link to the Poetics prompt, which is open until Sunday. Being human is indeed a lifelong quest and a gift; I wish more people would take their stewardship of the earth seriously. I especially love the lines:
    ‘This being human is a tree
    growing roots and branching
    out in uniqueness and beauty
    connected to the earth, yet
    always reaching for the heavens’.

  11. I think this is the best part of being human... alas there are too many who thinks that being human ends in themselves.
