Life

My essence spawned in a sunflower And I opened my eyes To blinding sunlight, Enjoying its warmth upon my body, Licking my lips at the way the winds Teased my hair And giggled out loud When the skies poured rain drops over me Merely to wash my sins off me! My essence outgrew the sunflower And one fine day I felt the need to jump out of it To seek for myself, A place which would feel like home! As soon as I stepped on Earth's soils I met the four directions! North bid me to tread on its way As upon it, I would discover growth, evolution, Modernity and a fast way of living! South held my hands in his And bid me to discover its oceans, Its wilderness, its unexplored flora And its peace of mind! East smiled and promised me new dawns Laden with hope and positivity, All which I would need to gather enough Strength to be able to reach out and Touch the sun itself! West was sure I would enjoy its sunsets, While lazy waves would lap on crystal beaches As well as the sight of clear nights Decorated by shiny stars Which would urge me to try to write Poetry with their twinkling incandescence! And when I asked what would I find more They all answered that I would meet with Death And that such formed part of Life! I sat and reflected upon my would be choice Before deciding to blindfold myself, And I revolved upon myself for several long minutes Before finally walking the way I ended up on As If Existing in whichever direction Has to come to an ending Why should I even try to choose anything That makes it up? Better it is To keep my demands simple And to keep my palms open in front of me While walking whichever way It willed me to!
