Life : Paradox (Free verse) by amateurR Life: so profound yet so simple
Takes a lifetime to understand,
Can be explained in one word.
Life: so strong yet so fragile
Causes one to believe in miracles
Can make one lose faith in everything
Life: so our own yet so not
Makes us follow our heart
Can break a million hearts
Life: so insignificant yet so effective
Becomes but a number for some
Leaves another life changed
Life: so short yet never ceases to exist
The end is uncertain, almost always too soon
But is lived through love left behind.
Up the ladder:
A mountain song
Down the ladder:
The lack of graffiti in an art centre lavatory

thank you!
Why would you delete my sage words? were they not worthy? I spent many a precious second whittling then from the bones of my lately deceased uncle Diarmuid. God rest his soul. His life was filled with the dark black goodness and an occasional tootle pon the whistle of merryment(stop your filthy thoughts). How i hated him so. If you had written this dirge a moment sooner i could have read it at his wake, but he might have with sheer exasperation at the triteness embodied in my carefully chosen homily
Life: just the perfect amount of time between the hollow space twixt your ears. unvotable.u
muddled , but then that's life ... is that the word which explains itself ? ... 4
Very thoughtful and expressive. I think life takes many lifetimes to understand. Many times I wish our short life were only an experience to learn from and we had another chance.. to live with the benefit of hindsight. There are so many many things to understand and judge correctly. I like the last line. Very good conclusion.
"Life: so our own yet so not" That is sooo true. I love that line!
