Analysis of Haiku Theory: LIFE
Haiku Theory: LIFE
Sifting through the mess
I find what I’m looking for
In my memory
When life seems unfair
The universe knows what’s best
So go with the flow
Building on the past
We stand in the present form
Older and wiser
Waiting on the pot
I compose a masterpiece
on toilet paper
As I fall asleep
Drifting in eternity
My soul gets refreshed
