Life

Night of illusions allures my mind
Feeble reality consumed by the dark 
Leads to an end where thought is a spark

I am crossing the city in a yellow cab
The driver tattooed shares his truths
Replaying the wisdom of song of rap

Life is money and power and pleasures for hour
No, no – life is something in between
God’s grand plans and fragility of human being  

Drive me to hospital where nobody sleeps
Life is beautiful walk and unstoppable dreams
In hospital nobody sleeps.

Life is to have two strong hands
Shaking the ones of your friends
In hospital is perfectly clear 

Life is to live at least five more years
Breathing the scent of June fields
Feeling the awe of the wisdom revealed

Think - life is approachable mercy 
To enjoy your ice cream
On a bicycle pushed from the ocean’s wind

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
