What are you, Life?

Dear Life,

I know you flow through time without a particular care

To those who appear and disappear within you

I know you don’t need us to maintain nor dare

To question you

To look through you

To see you.

We know it’s not fair, but we’re curious

What are you?

What do want from us?

We struggle and travel through you. Continuous

Yet know nothing of what you want. So dubious

-

Why do you want to know,

Is it that important to you?

Just be grateful that I contain you, no?

Your existence is one you’ll never decipher

So just take it out of your mind. Make it lighter

Why worry about the big questions,

When there’s no answer in sight?

Just live, love, laugh and be bright

For life is a mystery… a marvel

Not one that you can unravel

-

You’re right, there is no answer in sight

But with continuous questions, I’ll never lose sight

I’ll learn more and more about your wonders

With each discovery I’ll continue to wonder

What’s next?

I’m ready to unveil more of you

To question and see more of you

Until the day I disappear

I’ll remain wondering about the sheer

Extent of you

What you contain, plenty rife

Forever wondering

What are you, life.

Sincerely,

Your inhabitants
