Life

Life         
                          Peaceful, beautiful
                  Growing,   working,  arriving
              Love, abundance, scarcity, hatred
                     Aching , aging,decaying
                         Painful, sorrowful
                                   Death

These rather few words pervasively describe the process from beginning to end.

There is much to ponder here. For me I feel that as I move towards death I am not sorrowful, I have gained so much along life's path, it is now in my early 50s that I have come to know peace and wisdom. I am now able to see the beauty around me and continue to grow into who I am.

You have figured out the great aspects between love and hate as you produced their very essence within this poem! the difference between what is really within life and death! I really enjoyed reading the enormous grandiosity within this poem here this evening! What a fantastic piece, Great work!!
