Life Is

At this very moment, no one has successfully defined what Life truly is, so
      every fleeting second that passes, one breathing being at a time, tries 
                 without a trace of success to elaborate its true meaning


            ***This piece is not an attempt or an insistence in defining 
                                    what Life truly means***





                                                   Life Is


                                   Life is a never ending stream
                                   An unrelenting surreal dream
                                   Anxious to rule sacred terrain
                                   Vigilant eye enshroud domain

                                   Life is a verdin soaked in rain
                                   Found shelter to comfort pain
                                   Avian wizard flew out of sight
                                   Drank nectar suffused in light

                                   Life is a vast enigmatic ocean
                                   Full of love or invalid emotion
                                   Total anxiety invoke empathy
                                   In search of absolute serenity

                                   Life is a pond deep in morass
                                   Hatred ignites like poison gas
                                   Depravities void introspection
                                   Atone for a spiritual salvation

                                   Life is a fairy exalting a creek
                                   Water lily cradles a snowflake
                                   Wings frayed like worn pages
                                   Magic potion mends in stages

                                   Life is a gush from a waterfall
                                   Flaccid or blazing arctic squall
                                   Demons embed fear if you try
                                   Exit gravity and zip to the sky

                                   Life is a sinuous emerald lake
                                   Water lily cradles a snowflake
                                   Awaits sky to shed her jewels
                                   Solitude portend flying angels

                                   Life is a complex rushing river
                                   Eons of passion beget wonder
                                   Valiantly dare indomitable sea
                                   Truth shall outlive immortality
