The Essence Of Life Poem by Laquory Jones

Stars aligns with the moon upon the horizon
Lately I've been seeking some guidance
The world turned dark and ultra violent
While I disappeared deep into the darkness
An 27 year old whose witnessed the carnage
At first I thought it was all just a mirage
A man who understood the world's pain and
Her flaws troubles continues to be sought
So many of our rights has been tirelessly fought
Some people can't help but wonder if it's all
For naught entering the mind of an artist
Don't let the world strip you of your art
Inside you lies the very fiery of sparks
So open the vortex of your mind enter the
Deep-set of your dream-set taking complete
Steps of leaping faith while opening the gates

Closing my eyes as I prepare to sleep
Sinking into my dream-set perhaps
That's what makes me unique relaxing my
Mind relieving the stress that's constantly
Weighing heavily on me I take in a deep breath
Enlightening my soul among center-folds
Watching each dream taking its hold
The Struggles of life slowly taking its toll
But inside me lies the "Humanity's Scroll"
The keeper of dreams of many things
Dreamers among dreams while slowly
Drowning upstream pirating the roughest of
Seas I'm doing anything and everything to
Stay afloat while keeping my mind at ease just to
Bring inner peace at least (digging in deep)
All this happening before the rem of my sleep

Inside are where we buried our dreams
As they pour themselves inside our being
They indeed helps us to see a better you
And a better me deep down underneath
And down to our cores it's what makes us
Powerful helping to break down barriers
And Obstacles that are embedded deep
Within the roots of the towns this is
What I've found quite profound that we're
Invented to break ground helping to bring
Our dreams to life until they're realistically
Within our sights work hard by fulfilling
Your dreams tonight I believe that dreams
Provides us with some insight perhaps
That became "The Essence Of Life"
