I am working on a poetry bundle.
I would love some feedback though.
"can I be living" seems bad english? but poetry has no rules? i kind of like it this way...do I need question marks?
Identification
Can I be living
Without doing something
Without making a product
That eyes can see or hands can hold
Can I be of value
Without writing things down
Can I be someone
When I look to the sky
When I wonder at nature
Or anything passing by
Can I be of value
When enjoying this life
When seemingly doing nothing
But beholding the sky
Can I be living
When seeing and feeling
I’m surrounded by life
When coming up rashly
Unexplainable joy
Excitement that’s above me
Captured by all
Is it enough
To feel I am living
To behold what I see
To be happy inside
Is it enough
Not to create anything
To marvel at nature
And what man had in mind
Beautiful buildings
Awesome creations
On top of it all
Life that’s inside
Is it enough
To have my identity
In being creature
Above my creating
Above playing God
To be loved and be held
To be the joy of heaven
To be an act of Deity
To be Someone’s delight
Do I accept the gift of life
Embrace it with thankfulness
Do I know Who’s I am
Is it enough?
Is it enough to be living
To enjoy what I’ve got
Or do I keep on striving
To become what I’m not
To become what I cannot be
To become what I don’t even want
To become my own god
Am I allowed
To be a creature
To enjoy life He gave me
And let God do His job
