Maturity

Maturity is a journey that's both beautiful and strange,

A surreal dream that we cannot change.

We wander through a world that's both joy and pain,

Dealing with loss and heartbreak, and everything that's sane.

But as we mature, we learn to see the world anew,

With a sense of wonder, and everything that's true.

We see the beauty in the mundane, and everything that's plain,

Like the falling rain that washes away the pain.

For maturity is a journey that's both heartbreak and joy,

Like the wings of a butterfly that's ready to deploy.

We learn to cherish the moments, and everything that's raw,

Like the autumn leaves that nature does draw.

So let's embrace the growth that we have,

Like the seed that sprouts from the earth's core.

For in the end, it's the memories we hold,

That make life worth living, and everything that's bold.
