Life Reloaded

Life is like a long journey along the sea’s shore,
Where you sometimes face a heavy downpour and more;
Here there are opportunities aplenty each with its own door,
Only by opening which you will know what’s in store.

Life is a warm and secure feel like the elusive slippery eel,
The nonstop movement of a spinning wheel,
The lingering aftertaste of a fulfilling meal;
Here complete surrender can also help the human heal.

Life is like a game of chess which at times leaves no room for a guess:
One false step and you may land into an awful mess ;
Where you have to keep your head above the flood of daily stress;
The excitement akin to going to the party wearing your favourite dress.

Life is a song, life is a dance, it is a magnificent trance;
A gambler’s den where you have to take your chance;
Life is the joy of a long lost and cherished friend’s glance;
A memorable and enjoyable trip to France!

For certain life is no pest, life is an unending quest,
Wherein we are put to the test along with the best and the rest;
Let’s try scoring in it with great zest,
And make sure to with the bounty fill life’s treasure chest.

Awww . . . Life has been called many things, and you have labeled it quite nicely here also. I have lived my life breaking rules, and at this ripe old age I find myself in, I am exactly where I want to be.
