The Fruit of Life

Help us keep on giving.

Sponsored by Workhorse, Lexington Poetry Month is an easy to use platform for poets to publish and share their work in an attractive way. The community is supportive and diverse, commenting and encouraging one another throughout June. Money we raise goes to maintaining the cost of the website and publishing the yearly anthology. Our goals are to provide every poet (~150) a copy of the anthology, lower printing costs, and expand opportunities offered during Lexington Poetry Month, such as featured readings and poetry workshops.

The Fruit of Life

Afloat in a vast sea of nothing
The destination unspoken unseen,
Purpose has lost meaning.

Everybody burns into ashes,
And we are left behind with only
The taste of dust.

Searching for the fruit of life
Distant shells are all that we find.
Do not be led astray by
Death, humanity’s antidote.

Through despair we find each other,
From anger we harness passion,
Without sorrow we forget love.

The loss of a beloved leaves a void,
But it does not make us empty.
Death becomes what we deem it
For that is the beauty of life,
So please continue to live.
