What Is Life

Life is a whirlpool It drives you to the bottom no matter how hard your try to get away. Life is a thunderstorm It weighs you down and strikes down the proud. Life is a blizzard It is freezing cold and eventually buries you. Life is a desert It burns and offers little relief. Life is quicksand It traps you and leaves you no escape. Who can truly give me refuge and comfort? When will God be merciful and give me a turning point? Have I been pierce enough? Have not my tears flooded enough oceans? Why must I live when each day pierces me? Why must all I have sown be left to the crows? When, O Lord, when will I enjoy a harvest? When will I be satisfied with a full cup and overflowing chalice?
