Life.


Life is not a straight path with a clear sign
 Its not easy sailing in the sunshine
It is a shore line
 it is a vast expanse of growth and destruction at the same time.
 Like a grape vine It winds
 and it finds the light through the hard times.

Life is not simply right or wrong
 It is a bird song
 It takes the highs and the lows ,
 the nears and long gones
It takes being hit again and again like a game of ping pong
And still finding the strength to get up and go on.

Life is not simply surviving til we grow old
It's a lit coal Finite but burning bright against the worlds cold
 It's an ever searching beautiful soul With its own goals.
 It's not all about doing what you're told
It's about learning about unlearning
and yearning to find the truth that the world holds.

Life is not about competing for the cash prize
Its a compromise
Its caring for each other with a raw heart and no disguise
it's looking to the skies
to find the answer to your whys.
It's being wise
Its seeing through the lies
and still keeping love in your eyes
Its about sinking to the depths of despair, and learning to rise.

Life is not a one shot bullseye
It's the freedom to falter as your soul flies
 It's loving so much that you get tongue tied
And appreciating the moment before it goes by.
Its saying goodbye
to those to whom our paths are not tied.
Its wanting to cry,
and crying your fears away until your eyes dry.
 It's growing like a bonsai
Whose twists and turns make it beautiful as it reaches up to a new sky.

Life is not about being above or below
 It's an opportunity to grow
To come to know what we don't know
And learn to paint our future like a Van Gogh.
 It's accepting our past and learning to let go
 It's battling on the inside, and fighting our ego
it's being the universe and letting our hearts glow
because life is imperfect, and perfectly so.
