Life

There comes a day

We all shall know,

The beauty and power

Life does bestow,

Upon each one,

Exactly the same,

It’s up to us

To master this game.

The beauty lies

In our own connection

With all that is,

Bar no exception.

To live and love,

To be and do,

To give and take,

Exist as you.

So real and raw,

Refined or pretend,

Created, reinvented,

Here now, then once again.

The power lies

In our own understanding,

That we are here

To continue expanding.

To learn and grow,

Experience and observe,

Follow a dotted line

Or detour and swerve.

Be grateful and appreciate,

Rejoice or resent,

Both flow and resist,

Be authentically present.

So jump in and take part

In life’s power and beauty,

Connect, understand

Life’s a gift not a duty.
