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!
