Analysis of LIFE
If I ceased to exist,
I wouldn't have known life.
No family, no friends, no lovers nor haters
But lifeless, soulless space
In nothingness and ignorance.
Life is so much more a gift
One in experience I live.
It isn't clay that turns to dust
But breath of spirit and a soul.
An opportunity to know grief,
To know hate, and shame, and fear,
To witness courage, and feel joy.
A time bound chance to be important.
To serve a purpose and return back
Not to nothingness but the benevolent
Who has graced us with the ultimate,
With love, the reason for our being.
God is love, and
Life is the expression of that love.
