Nominal Universe

Birth is a common denominator,
Where the journey begins anew,  
In the cradle of dreams and laughter,  
Life's canvas awaits you.  

Age humbles the most valiant,
With each wrinkle, wisdom grows,  
The fierce warrior of youth,  
Now dances in softer prose.  

Work is demanding of our essence, 
A grind that shapes the days,  
In the hustle of ambition,  
We find our varied ways.  

Marriage, a tapestry woven tight,
Threads of joy, sorrow, and care,  
Two souls entwined in the dance of life,  
In moments both rich and rare.  

Death, the silent whisper,  
The end of a story told,  
Yet in the heart’s quiet chambers,  
Lives the legacy bold.  

In this nominal universe, 
We rise, we stumble, we learn,  
Each chapter a fleeting moment,  
In the cycle of life’s eternal turn
