The Essence of Life

Author Notes: This writing is 100% human. I do embrace and leverage GenAI in my writing practice and will always indicate what role, if any, GAI played in a particular work.
Drowning in a sea of countless thoughts,
Incessant distractions attracting me like a moth,
Sloth-like progress driven by the ever-wandering eye,
Time. It slips away with every new goodbye,
Rewind. It’s not possible so to try would be insanity,
Amnesty isn’t needed, this seemingly chaotic world is my identity,
Clearly caught in the dance driven by desires of the day,
Today is fueled by hazy lenses, giving memories that stay,
Innate disposition visible; passion is driving the story,
Only no goal in mind; enjoyment comes from the journey,
Now yearning to prolong the shifting satisfaction - The Essence of Life is the distraction.

Super beautiful and so well-penned! I really loved the use of rhyme and the pull between thoughts, present, distraction, and progress is so well expressed here. It’s very relatable and I really enjoyed the way conclusion; so well done! 😊
Love it beyond measure!
