What Is Life? MAG
What is life?
Oh! What is life?
LIFE IS a stream
Flowing through the land,
Sometimes violently crashing
Against rocks so rough and stiff,
But often calmly rolling
As a waterfall over a cliff.
LIFE IS a present
Appealing to the eyes
And gingerly opened
Revealing a surprise.
LIFE IS a circle,
No beginning, no end.
A continuous cycle
Of meaningful events.
LIFE IS a chess game.
Each move decisively matched.
The players waiting,
Set to attack in a flash.
LIFE IS a detour.
Just when you think
You're on a straight path,
You hit an obstacle
And must take a new track.
LIFE IS an education,
Fun, exciting, new,
Yet difficult, laborious, too.
LIFE is finally a rainbow,
Iris' colorful joy
Shimmering after a rain.
A spectrum of radiant colors
To brighten any day.
That is Life.
Oh! That is life.
