Life,Undefinable Definitive

Life! sweetest of everything below the sky The bitterness of which is worse than gall Peaceful as the stared heavens without clouds More troubled than the tempestuous oceans Serenely silenced as the breeze on high Louder than the pandemonium of a lunatic ball Harder than a mountain of diamond stout Life! fresher than a bed of newly fallen snow Withered like a month old ungerminated-apple-seed Brighter than the sunshine at it's highest peak Darker than the enraged and starless African- Night Hotter than an Axe burnt to redness glow As cold as the Dog's running nose of pee With Infinitive vastness of immeasurable round peak And so tiny as to be in the heart of no pint Life! undesirable neccessity Man comes Man lives Man leaves But life will continue to be!
