Life Or Death

Life springs merging love in the womb
Inexplicable this cycle of Life and Tomb
Fuzzy  when, where, why we come and go
Enigmatic this cycle from long ago.

Love this life in trust
Opportunity of Life let not rust
Vagaries of Life handle we must
Entry to exit from Life will look just. 

Sleep of no return we are all thrust
Leaving this place we are all dust
Death sweeps away Life with its gust
Afterlife mystery in unresolved crust.

Death, demise, decay delivers doom
Death in Life makes joy strife
Love in Life makes joy rife
Life springs merging love in the womb.
