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
