Gamified

Life is a lot

Like Hot and Cold,

A game we played

Before we grew old,

Someone would secretly

Hide an object,

We’d all keep searching

Till one of us found it.

You’re hot or cold

Or warm they’d say,

That’s how they’d guide us

Along the way

As we felt intrigue,

Disappointment or excitement,

Each new clue

Further or closer we were sent.

Until someone won,

You or a friend,

Then the game would start

All over again,

Much like the way

Life’s supposed to work

By listening to your heart,

Your gut, your thoughts.

Your internal radar,

Emotions, intuition

Can keep you on course,

Focused on your mission

As long as you’re listening,

Aware of the signs,

You’ll find that object

In record time.

You’re hot or cold

Or warm our GPS says

To warn us, maybe go

In another direction instead,

It’s basically simple

Like the childhood game,

Listening for how close

Or far we came.

We can adjust our course

According to the information,

Slowing it down or

Speeding up the acceleration

On the way to our goal,

Though never done,

Once reached

there’s always a newer one,

Just like the game

That went on and on,

Life’s canvas is vast

To paint upon.

You don’t have to download it

From Play Store

It’s already installed

Deep in your core,

To activate it

There is no price

But know once you do

It becomes quite a vice.

Gamification of life

As it was meant to be,

Looking for the clues,

Observing what you see,

Learning and growing

Each time you play,

Accompanied always

As you make your way.
