Another Definition of Life

Life is the love that turns hearts blue
Life is the darkness and fear that corupts your soul
Life is the memory of someone lost or gone
Life is a promise that keeps getting reset
Life is a song that used to brighten your day but instead you weep
Life is unusal and cruel and the one thing we don't keep.

Hello Audrey, life is a big word that comes in four letters. I love reading all definitions when it comes to life, especially the ones that touch the true meanings of our sad reality. Your poem is short, but I enjoyed the quality in your poem. The 6 lines above distinguishes a vital that ends in a way we don't wish for it. Life is a force we have no control of.... Have yourself a nice one, always & forever* Linda

Thank you so much Linda. I have seen longer "definitions" of life, but really there's not much to it. I appreciate your feedback very greatly, as a young poet, the feeling when I see good comments makes me want to write more!
