A Way of Life

As we listen to the voices that rage within,
We try to understand the world as well as ourselves.

To spread our wings, to fly on our own,
To explore the outside world is all that is sworn.

Crying, loving, living, dying, all one in the same,
All and each trying to survive in the game.

This game called Life
This emotion to Cry,
This understanding of Love,
This acceptance called Death.

The way of life is littered with voices, internal and external. It's what we listen to that takes us on our journey, nice one Shannon....:)
