Nature of Life

Nature of Life
   
     Are you able to discriminate 
     between living and inanimate?
     Can you draw definite line of demarcation
      displaying ‘Life’ and ‘No-Life’ distinction?
 
     Is there any boundary which
      non- living can never reach? 
     Beyond that can life originate,
     spread, flourish and terminate?

      Earth, Air, Water, Sun: so-called non-livings
       are responsible to initiate living beings.
       Senses are hidden in inanimate more or less
       to be shown by life in continuous process.
     
       Microbes show little sense; plants show better sense.
       Animals in full sense and humans in conscience.
      In Nature, eternal chain of life cycle continuous flowing
      through inanimate, microbes, plant, animal, human being.
