Life,Undefinable Definitive

Life! sweetest of everything below the sky
      The bitterness of which is worse than gall
      Peaceful as the stared heavens without clouds
      More troubled than the tempestuous oceans
      Serenely silenced as the breeze on high
      Louder than the pandemonium of a lunatic ball
      Harder than a mountain of diamond stout


      Life! fresher than a bed of newly fallen snow
      Withered like a month old ungerminated-apple-seed
      Brighter than the sunshine at it's highest peak
      Darker than the enraged and starless African- Night
      Hotter than an Axe burnt to redness glow
      As cold as the Dog's running nose of pee
      With Infinitive vastness of immeasurable round peak
      And so tiny as to be in the heart of no pint


     Life! undesirable neccessity
     Man comes
     Man lives
     Man leaves
     But life will continue to be!
