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,
while studying rules,
a merry go round.
Fickle and dizzy
an unbalanced soul,
breaking the routine,
gaining self-control.
So many questions
await a response,
obtaining all needs,
still longing for wants.
The planet has changed,
nothing is the same,
words have new meanings,
unrelated aim.
Two steps moving forward
take one full step back,
slowly advancing,
remaining on track.
A visible light,
unfolds a strong bridge,
our soul forming wings,
our bodies the hinge.
Inhale then exhale
let go of the weight,
float calmly through life,
live what we create.
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy

“Life is a wondrous scene
Upside down, hanging around
Gives you a top view of the ground
Above the gloominess there is light
Below the day there is night
Where dreams are unwound
Then here comes the sun again”
Wonderful, Ivor.💕👏👏👏💕
