What is Life?

Life is a bittersweet dance
A passionate tango full of sadness, desire and joy
A symphony without rhythms or reason
All you know is it speaks to your soul

Life is but a sweet broken illusion
Full of wonder, chaos and magick
Life is but a smile on a sad night
Grief tangle with innocence
Virtue mixed with false pride

Life is passion and dreams
And tears which freely flow 
Tears of pain...
Tears of love

Life is the memory of lost friends
And lost loves
The idealism of our youth
And the wisdom we gathered as we grow

Life cannot not be explained
It demands to be felt
Beautiful
Fearsome
Fleeting
Moments which cannot be retained

Life is silence 
Life is melodies...
Soft and loud...
Deep and strong...
A piece of art painted by the old Gods

To try to hold on would be futile
Life is about exploring and letting go
Life is the sweet suicidal tear of times long gone
The eternal smile of all that was and will always be
Life is meant to be lived by you and me.

Sofia E. Falcone
