The Course of Life



The Course of Life




The course of life flows momentarily


Through the streams of hope, rivers of doubt, fountains of youth

And valleys of truth


Until at last, emerges a wealth of belief

In the ocean of understanding

Realising the effect of worn out boots on a cold, wintry morning

Or the smell of hot, steaming coffee after dinner

Cannot fully begin to immortalize the exotic flavors of life



Life is not a destination, but a journey

With so many intrusions, confusions

We must protect our souls from illusions, delusions

And yet through destruction, waste and war

We rise up, revived, renewed and ready

To conquer all that stands before us, and behind us
 

With what lies within.
