Threads of Life

Embracing the Music of Happiness and Sadness

We see how life's threads are all woven together in the dance of dawn and dusk.

A music of happiness and sadness,

-

Every note is a win or a loss.

-

Through narrow trails and deep valleys,

We go on, and our lies stay safe.

The bright fields and clear nights,

Tell stories of laughing, tears, and saying goodbye.

-

Hey, life! You weave your magic thread through every unspoken word, every dream that comes true, and every wrong that is made right.

-

Take in the storm, the peace, the fire,

Accept the nudges of desire, because this brief, precious time is when we understand who we really are.

-

So enjoy the present and live it fully, in every breath and action, because life is a song, wild and free.

A work of art that everyone can see.
