This Is Life

Life is a river, winding and unfastened,
Flowing through valleys, reaching the sea.
Moments of stillness, rapids of strife,
Each twist and flip, the essence of life.

The sunrise of latest days, with light so natural,
Whispers of promise, desire to undergo.
Sunrises portray the sky with gold,
Stories of futures yet to spread.

The laughter of kids, a happy sound,
Echoes of innocence all around.
Love that blossoms, tender and actual,
Binding hearts in a bond so new.

Yet shadows fall, as twilight descends,
Loss and sorrow, where darkness extends.
Tears that cascade like a stormy rain,
A dance of joy and a dance of ache.

Mountains to climb, demanding situations to stand,
Finding our rhythm, our personal unique pace.
Dreams that shimmer like stars in the night,
Guiding us forward with their gentle mild.

In the quiet moments, whilst all appears nevertheless,
Reflection whispers, igniting the need.
Lessons learned and knowledge won,
Through every trial, through pleasure and ache.

This is lifestyles, a tapestry grand,
Woven with threads with the aid of an unseen hand.
Cherish each moment, permit your coronary heart thrive,
For through all its changes, this is lifestyles.
