Life
Life...
On the wake of a new morning...
With countless hopes ascending...
And endless dreams ever knocking...
In excitement of a new beginning...
By persuasions smoothly rolling...
Sometimes with courage unrelenting...
Other times terrible and despairing...
Into desertions of lights dimming...
Yet in irresistable stages unfolding...
Each at a time taking a leading...
Few a reality; many a daydreaming...
The others in hibernation, waiting...
Often with promises unbecoming...
When beaten to wounds unhealing...
Which by taunts of smiles disappearing...
Suddenly flashes like some lightning...
Such a one so terrific and blinding...
Quick at frightening anyone smiling...
But despite many threats rolling...
Some a tough folks keep on moving...
To the rhythm of victory-in-the-making...
As long as they live remembering...
That all that started has an ending...
For all is but living and adventuring...
Life.
