What is LIfe?

What is life? Can you tell me?
Is it when you run out to the world, not afraid?
Is it when you close your eyes and feel the light touch of sleep?
Can you tell, be it bard or priest, girl or boy, good or evil?
Can you tell me?

I've searched this universe, and my answers vary.
Some say itis when you worship God,
but really, what is god and can we prove it.
Some say it's when we face our worst fears
but whatif your fear is death, how can you face that?

I've come up with my own theories.
LIfe, it isn't a thing or a person, it is something without a name
it's mate is Time. When we wonder what will happen next
we waste some of our life and time
it ticks by without us knowing, waiting for us to make a mistake

Do you want to know what that mistake is?
It's when we waste it worrying, or not using it at all
think of nuns, they waste their life worshiping something
and it may not even existe
we waste it when we want time to speed up,
for some day, we will look in the mirror and say
"LIfe, Time, let me live again and use it to my full potential.

But who are we to say such things, when we ourselfs are nothing, just
things in this mixed up world, who have no power over things bigger
and unknown to us?

    Life is such as you make of it. We all have different beliefs and points of views. Everyone unique. As we grow older we find that what we once believed in may not be what we believe in today or tomorrow. Great piece to ponder on. Thanks for the share!

    the questions of mortal man asking immortal questions
    that flame our lives....hearts..and souls....

    you are thirteen years and ready to leave the realm of
    NOUN and deciding what VERBS you will serve in your lifetime, how big or small you paint your part in this
    world.

    This is a wonderous time for you.
    perhaps, you should ask as a fellow
    journey-er....why do you choose to live the life
    you do?

    you just may be surprised
    at what many answer!

    Thank you for these words, you have summed this living thing up in such precise and beautiful terms. This piece made me smile, and brought me peace. The closing lines "But who are we to say such things, when we ourselfs are nothing, just
    things in this mixed up world, who have no power over things bigger
    and unknown to us?" mirror something I have often wondered in my own life. Although "ourselfs" should be "ourselves", but this is a minor niggle, and I fully understand if you do not wish to edit it. Thank you for providing me with peace.
