Tree of Life

There is a wit that sows the seed: Beauty now fits a voice that feeds. Watch the stillness prompt a sweet trance: Be a witness to life's pure dance. Here for a while, find actual voice: Live a brief smile with easy choice. The echoes come to greet the strife: The cycles sum the tree of life. Joy in this sphere seems frail and brief: Set sail from here as cheer prunes grief. Look to the wind to fly away: Rise above dream to make dream pay. The seasons change with contrast sharp: Accept things strange as music harps. Go forward then to meet your fate: Create just when things seem too late. Be beyond fear that stifles hope: Faith primes and cheers to frame new scope. Fulfill your lot in time and space: Live easy plot with fond embrace. The void awaits the sojourn brave: You're never late dear foolish knave. Brief are your days out in the sun: Sight rainbow rays as life makes fun. Leon Enriquez 15 March 2015 Singapore
