11 Poems About Life To Remind You How To Live Fully, Wildly & Gracefully

Life is short, fragile, and wildly unpredictable. If your soul has signed up for a rocky ride, take solace in the knowing that life is a choice.

We can choose to wake each morning with the weight of the world on our shoulders, or we can choose to wake up and rise in a state of wonder.

It is up to you to make the most of this short, wild ride. I hope this collection of poems about life reminds you how to live, even in the darkest of times.

Inspirational Poems About Life

1. Life Jerk - Jadine Lydia

sometimes, it just hits me
slap bang in the middle
of my wild, jaded heart.
that ecstatic feeling;
a sharp slap
on my cheek of chalk
that says:
wake up! this is life.
it is here to be had,
it is yours to be felt
and you are here to delve
into the good
the bad
and the beautiful.
give thanks,
for you are alive
and every little cell
in your ever-expanding body
is renewed + revived.
you are alive.

extract from – Simple Truths

2. The Thing is - Ellen Bass

3. This Life - Jadine Lydia

this life, your life
is a tiny drop in the ocean
of existence, waiting for you to drink
from its vast body of water;
wake up and quench your thirst.

this life, your life
is a speck of dust in the light
that dances, between the rays
of an ever-lasting sun;
wake up and feel the warmth.

this life, your life,
is a grain of dirt, trodden
into the earth, so that you
may be humbled by the walls
of your life crashing down;
wake up and build with grace.

this life, your life
is a millisecond in a kaleidoscope
of moments and memories,
gifted to you to experience
the highs the lows
and everything in between;
wake up and embrace the ride.

this life, your life
is a single breath in a world
of life and death, where fragility
reminds us, life is short;
wake up and breathe.

this life, your life
is as long as you make it
and as love-filled as you allow it to be;
wake up, drink, feel, build, embrace,
love and breathe. this is your life,
so, wake up and live.

And so, she let the elixir of life
