Life

Life doesn't belong to any of us It passes by, unfathomable It flows through our fingertips Encapsulates us, satiates our spirits Graces us with swollen ankles And delicate skin prone to wrinkles

What a interesting poem, well written and thank you for sharing. It prompts the thought of what mankind is always looking for 'the answer' . Mankinds question of 'why'. So many looking for answers, so few finding it. Joy when l found it yrs ago :) J.

Thank you so much for reading! Life is such a wondrous thing yet so short. We must hold on to what we have acquired before the sands of time dissipate. EJ.
