What Is Life

What is life?
is it love or is it 
pain all I know is 
both go hand and hand
maybe life is
just misery with a couple 
happy short lived times 
in between times of
self loathing and hatred
as the years have past
i've come to figure one 
thing and that thing is
life keeps going on 
whatever it is

Yep - the old never ending story never seems to end. (Perhaps not even when we think its over its really just starting over again). And thanks for posting earlier on my poem "End Up Where Life Began." Nice of you to comment. I'll keep an eye out for ya. Cheers/Terry
