Synonym of Life

DNA blueprint embalmed in womb,
protoplasm embarks on a journey.....
enigmatic waves crash uncertain shores,
life effuses ...a seed becomes a tree.
A brief stay in a big planet, breathing in and out
fragile dreams race, to reach the summit top.

Crossing paths with family and friends,....
poignant memories heal wounded feelings.
Some hidden stars behind dark clouds...
Some  unsung songs composed in heart.
Few poems remain, without an ending... 
It's all work, no passion,.Eureka eluding. 

A gilded life meanders, in turmoil of past
illusion of happiness, in amusement parks.
A vast field grazed,  in unknown fear aghast. 
hoping for a future...new things to embark.

Searching the world for a synonym of life, 
Worthless wealth is all that we view.
Life asks a riddle  "How are you?
Loudly we  proclaim, I'm fine, Thank You."
