Life, I Must Know

Will I ever be able to comprehend life? Awesome life, Life enigmatic, With its woes and worries Its joys and jubilation-- Without a prelude or an epilogue attached. When I am unable to understand Nature With her simple gurgling and bubbling brooks The gushing streams and the calm placid lakes The splendorous falls and the magnificent mountains The verdant hills and emerald green valleys The virgin woods and the pristine environment, With her tiny puddles of restless oceans some grains of sand and breaths of fresh air. How then must I understand The infinitude of life? Ravaged by death, disease and destruction is still so enduring, With all its misgivings and failings is still is so enticing, With falling short of fulfilling one’s aspirations is still so endearing, With all its indiscreet ideas and foolish dogmas is still so captivating; Why were we born? If it’s to live a life… Why? Oh, why then must we’ve to die! ~02/24/22 ~Contest: F Form ~Sponsor: Constance La France ~Theme: LIFE.
