Meaning of Life

**Rough copy

What if life has no actual meaning? If try as we might, we find no sense Are we to give up? Perhaps just daring to live Is exactly what the lesson is. Life, such a magical word Pronouncing the word feels like the melting of honey Yet for some life is but a bitter cup filled with regrets It comes down to perception Balance between the extremes Life the eternal rollercoaster Bittersweet memories of moments long gone Are we to to live holding on? What good is to have life if you are not living Like a zombie, alive but death Life gives you choice yet you choose regret Why regret if you look at life with contempt Why try to hold on when you wish you were death Perhaps it’s your soul screaming to be heard Asking you to stop and listen To value your life while you still can Yet you are deaf to life’s calling The chains they imposed still your master Only you have the key to freedom Only you can spread your wings Dare to let go of the shackles Only you can dare to live Life is precious Lie is more valuable than gold Why waste it all on empty moments Futile pleasures which only leave you empty and alone Life is about living with all our senses Living the moment with purpose and intensity With our passion as propeller Eager for what is yet to come Excited at what life dispenses Life is about moments Ecstasy Pain Love Sadness Sinner Saint Life the dance of primordial forces Where the simple and the complex collide Giving birth to brand new shades which we are to explore Standing, falling, getting right back up Through it all we learn, we sing we cry we laugh In our hearts has been planted the spark of life Yet the veil still blind us And the lies long ago told We not only believe But eagerly we get down on our knees We go around blindly blaming our essence Sinners they call us And so we take the whip and lash ourselves But life is not about punishment nor hell In our gentle sins great experiences await For life is not just light but sweet darkness full of might We are not a one winged butterfly We are beautiful and divine Life is meant to be lived to the rhythm of your spirit Who cares if others laugh while you dance to your own tune? Better to be awake and alive Than to be blind and full of fake light Life was given to you and me Stand tall and live Paint your life with crazy colors Dare to embrace the intensity within Life where the roads of darkness and light meet Life the greatest gift The eternal loving force Life the great defender of what is unique Life is meant to be lived Sofia E.
