Purpose Poems
Hope of a Child
by Kailey Norris
The mindset of hope and of a child are much alike,
as if true serenity and innocence are connected.
The comfort of a child in their mother's arms is what we long for inside ourselves,
a sense of safety and peace within our own body.
Treat every moment like you are still a child,
Cherish the most insignificant things in life.
Put that shiny rock in your pocket, it may be gold!
With thought, the smallest thing can bring peace and understanding to a life.
Every tiny aspect of nature is a beauty.

You are among the chosen ones/Ти серед обраних (Ukrainian)
by Halyna Myroslava
ти серед обраних
мішенню бути
ціль
знайдуть причини
ті що їх шукають
котрих щось інше не відволікає
яка різниця їм
де й чим
живеш та дихаєш
мішень ти

Life
by Sihle Mjobo
Birth, life and death
The knowledge of this earth
Neither before nor after present
Following their select ascent
Part pursuing purpose
As sole intent
Part pursuing pleasure
Till life is spent

The Carnival
by Richard Randolph
There are no immovable objects,
nor are there unstoppable forces,
but there are objects we can't move,
and forces we can't stop,
and questions we can't answer,
so purpose becomes the paradox.
My mind contains all of the world,
and my thoughts and feelings, too,
but to say the world contains us
is at least equally as true.

Slayers!!
by Joycelyn Eshun
Myths and speculations of beauty today
Church girls and boys considered out of date
If I am average looking then I fit the description of 'church girl'.
Clothed in rags then my place is the temple.
But unlike our slay queens we slay with purpose
We break down territories and command strongholds.
We present this world a new definition of slayers
Beauty with prayer
Fashion with purpose
We leaving our marks everywhere we go

Hope or Hoax
by Mayank Nirala
I contemplate why you came into my life.
Is there a reason!
Why do I feel a relevance
Why do you remind me of me
What purpose do you hold
Why do I want you to have one
Are you a ray of hope
Or Is this a hoax

A Tale of Reason
by . Trevortni
A quest for a reason, is to seek a labor of love.
Fear not, said thy youngin, for love, love is infinite.
But to find for thy a reason, is a journey from the sure, through to the unknown, for the promise of all.
Yet to seek what no person can see; one must understand a language no person can speak.
For in the mind of eye, how glorious is we, yet in the quest for love, lest not we forget the importance of he and she.
So, sail upon the vision you see, wave after wave, pound after pound, all aboard and head for the safe.
Yet ask, is love not the bearer of necessary illusion, a comfort of acceptance, a stagnation of will?
For love is an action, much like owning a mill.
Thus, only a profit can be a telling distraction, for when you reach the bank, it’s only a river you will cry.
So when the bubble will burst, the flames extinguish, breathe in slowly, for oxygen will reignite.

A purpose agreed upon as a whole
by Rhyan Sexton
I love peace
And peace is how I love
It's time to release
The grudge through which I drudge
It is not a singular affliction
Though donated and added to an addiction
We all must take steps into uncertainty
Though I desire pondering unknown
