Life Is - So I Am

I am made of air
Air, to which state I shall return!

I am made of particles
Particles, to which state I shall return!

I am made of flesh and blood
All of which shall dry and rot!

I am made of matter
Matter, to which state I shall return!

I am, so I do be
I am, and hence I laud of such glory!

I am made of mystery
Mystery to which I shall return

Mystery with which I am in love
Mystery whose secrets I wish to unravel

Breathe, live, feel, sense, do
Yes, long, yearn, cry, miss, enjoy, love!

Human life is such
Duty, Choice, Judgement, Awareness

Ability, Knowledge, Rewards, Punishment
Fated facet of existence!

Is life not beautiful?
Beautiful simply because it is the way it is

Beautiful because it requires love from us
Love, love yes love, in its splendor!
