Paradigm of Life

Until breath proves on how Our unwavering care will support Family ties run deep, dedication avowed No step will bring us back to a path trodden apart By looking at all the tall trees A feeling we surmount big challenges Who sees dawn to dusk, divining in the breeze We are left with someone’s life to salvage The cavern carved by the sea has chambers Branching off the main pathway to follow There are easy and hard trails to remember As body pressed down being sleepy and mellow We come out to view the other side Of the foyer, we entered and tried to assess Pleasures and sorrows that set smudge our pride Trusting to succeed every hurdle that comes to mess Selflessly giving life at one’s advantage Like trees maintain sap to sustain its system Breathe reminding heart to beat as their language Keeping these rhythms as a way to listen We kept a place where outcry couldn’t be heard In our mortal dreams, we color it to become immortal But life is not forever and that is our reward On bated breath leading to heaven’s portal As day and night crossed into our lives Early morning smiles on the warm season As evening rest fading as the sun arrives In glimmering moment, we thank life for all the reasons One cannot live without the other Yet others cannot exist at the same time In every sunrise and sunset, we discover Reaching a sublime last breath became a paradigm June 15, 2016
