Life Is a Lover

It's life that weaves feathers into wings The weight of its measure balance the scale Allows me to feel and see what it brings With reverent breath, I slowly inhale My eyes perceive rainbow colors abound By painted splayed light from closest warm sun My minds a fragile web, woven around To flutter in winds when seasons are done Life is a lover, embraced till' the end As eyes caress mountains with splendor's view My time through life's meadows slowly descend Another like me will be born anew With moist eyes of awe and wondrous surprise I find life my lover, each day I rise 11/30/17 contest Meraki

WoW! Frederic, I agree with Silent, this piece is deep and profound. I never heard of "life" being called a lover. It is evident that its also your "Meraki". Congratulations on your winning write. It was well deserved:-) Alexis
