Life

Life

How flexible you are.
Today you are fierce,
tomorrow you are gentle.
One moment, innocent as the morning dawn;
the next, a mystery wrapped in silence.

We chase your meaning,
longing to understand your ways,
yet you flow like a river
endless in its journey,
winding through valleys,
climbing rugged hills,
tumbling down steep cliffs,
then resting in tranquil waters.

Oh, Life,
you are a tapestry of wonder,
forever changing,
forever teaching,
forever beyond our grasp.
