Life is Life
 
 
Life is life,
we live it, we breathe it.
Life is like the setting of the sun
and the rising of the moon
 
Life is like the wind that
you feel on your face
The whisper of the cool
night breeze, that tells you
that you are a part of something
Magical
 
A part of something Mystical
Life is like the passing
waters of a stream,
 that ebb and flow,
this way and that
 
Not really knowing where
it is going,
but knowing it will get
there in the end
 
Destination, we all have
our paths to cross...
and our cross to bare
 
Know this.
That Nature in all Her Creation
made you for a purpose.
 
  It is
up to each and every one of us
to find that purpose
 
Indeed, we are all like the passing
stream.  Yet, in every stream, comes
darkness.  Where the light hits...
so to, does the dark
 
The pit is only round the next corner,
and waits for each one of us 
Climb it, and emerge anew,
as Nature's Own
Butterfly
 
Chrysalis, a pupae,
that will eventually break through,
and emerge
 
into a bright new world of Mystery,
and the Unknown
 
Take with both hands now
the opportunity afforded to you
my love
 
Think not of death, but life 
Live it
Breathe it
Consume it
with your very being. 
 
For you, in all your Glory,
are indeed, Beauty
in this world....

    Absolutely brilliant

    You are such a creative writer, and I have enjoyed many of your entries. I am honoured you even noticed my poem the Fine Line. 10/10. Simply brilliant.

    darkness. Where the light hits...
    so to, does the darkness.

    oh, i just loved those two paragraphs.
    Perhaps that is the pain we feel when we are
    being transformed so boldly that our insides
    scream out as we feel ourselves pulled inside out,
    to reveal a new creature of strong beauty!
    well written dear brother, feast of a poem to
    always keep close to our souls!

  • This is indeed very beautiful, Wayne. Life is a precious thing that must be protected and appreciated. Your writing must be a joy for the recipient. Lovely as always. Patricia

    What fantastic, uplifting words. When we all go through suffering, rather than sink, we can bear in mind that we do indeed have a purpose. That the black sky is indeed hiding a sunny day.

    wow- nice- if life is still like this for you and it obviously is or you wouldn't be able to write like this- never take it for granted- savor it slowly and meaningfully so that it lasts your entire life through. You are very lucky and are very blessed.

    Besides the content, this is an extremely well written poem as usual.

  • Nice work of poetic art here Wayne! I admire the words put into this. THANKS!!
