Life
Life with its odds and turns,
A calm and turbulent sea,
The lost are kept in urns.
Many are the things we can't see,
Periscope in hand,
A calm and turbulent sea.
Ahead of us is a stretch of land,
We can't tell its mileage,
Periscope in hand.
Swift is time and responsive is age,
They bring us close to the end of the show,
We can't tell its mileage.
Life is multi-sided and edgy is its flow,
We move with the tides,
They bring us close to the end of the show.
We’re sailors on a voyage,
Life with its odds and turns,
We move with the tides,
The lost are kept in urns.
