Life

Who can say what Life is?
Is it that moment of  first breath when we awake in the world?
Or maybe that last breath as we exit?
 
Is life the gift Mother nature hands us?
When a warm summer breeze ripples over hot skin
baking in the sun, and creates a  cooling shiver
 
Life can be watching a seed burst into life,
bringing fragrant blooms to delight our senses
and restore peace to troubled souls.
 
When  the sun shines through falling rain
and creates an arc of magical hues overhead,
then Life exists within the promise of a rainbow.             
 
Life can be found in the  innocence of a childs smile,
or in the grace of an embrace given
by long forgotten friends
 
Life leads ultimately to death, the circle complete.
It’s path always known perhaps, and now seen clearly
for life is, I now  believe, the  ultimate Journey from God …to ..God
