Life is a story
with an endless spin,
an action park ride,
controlled from within.
One day we fly high,
the next day fall down,
study endless rules,
a merry go round.
Fickle and dizzy
an unbalanced soul,
breaks up the routine,
to gain self-control.
So many questions
await a response,
obtain every need,
yet still longs for wants.
The planet has changed,
nothing is the same,
words have new meanings,
unrelated aim.
Two steps, move forward
take one full step back,
slowly advancing,
to remain on track.
A visible light,
unfolds a strong bridge,
our soul creates wings,
our bodies the hinge.
Inhale then exhale
let go of the weight,
float calmly through life,
live what hearts create.
