The Mystery of Life
With each new day comes the glorious dawn
One more day to ponder where the time has gone
I marvel at this wondrous thing called life
Filled with experiences of joy and also strife
Looking back via memories both feint and bright
I retrace the steps of my life by dawns early light
Whether sunshine or rain be nature's greeting of the day
The mere idea of living takes my breath away
We exist in this place with nary a clue
Of why we are here and what we are meant to do
So we set the mysteries aside as answers elude the mind
And we go about our lives as if deaf, dumb and blind
And at the end of each day as we seek to escape from it all
Suddenly sleep sweeps over us and into dreams we do fall
The other world of dreams takes us on a surreal ride
To unfamiliar places as if the two worlds did collide
Then suddenly we awake and the cycle begins anew
And we struggle once again as we seek that which is true
But the new day has not blessed us with extrasensory perception
So the mysteries of life continue to weave their web of deception
Maybe someday after we have long passed from this Earth
The truth will be disclosed to us and we may know our true worth
