Life is a mystery that haunts the erratic vulnerability of mankind

Reverberating reflections and morals so profound to understand

Difficulties, problems and distress appear to be always at hand

Comforts and ecstasies fill the air when the odds are gone.

Life is a journey exploring into the bewildered fate and destination

On the boulevard of broken dreams and pedestals of token ambitions

Still wanting for more travels to satisfy urges and wild imaginations

In the quest for unending happiness, prestige and consolation.

Life is a drama that reveals episodes and thrills in the passing of time

Showcasing varied moods and acts that alter and mature like wine

On this world's stage with scenes of conflicts and intriguing climax that shine

With tragedies that unravel the true essence of living which look sublime.

Life is a song drawn from wonderful poetry and hummed from sweet melodies

Expressing mixtures of passions and much cherished glories from memories

Magnifying downfalls and exaltation derived from everyday impulses

Bringing forth operatic renditions and staccatos of feared incoming days.

Life is a book that spreads the pages, notes and chapters that enshrine

The myths and truths of stories, plots and characters that intertwine

Predictable and unpredictable outcomes that depend on the author's lines

To entertain and adhere to roles and commandments which oftentimes divine.

Life is a game where there is a dire need for teamwork or give and take

Even if it means to cede capabilities and with honor and fame are at stake

Discriminating opinions and criticisms on zones and skills we are weak

Embracing positive attitudes to deliver and enjoy longer winning streak.

Life is but a gamble meant to bet on expected wastefulness and losses

Prying on ventures and misadventures for luck packed with costly resources

Heading on with risks, struggles and strategies enveloped in blindness

Trying to upstage plight condition infiltrated with woes and uncertainties.

Lastly, life is a wheel that keeps on turning the tides of gains and fortune

Either as down and troubled or up in the cloud nine of utmost promotion

Whirling with differentiated  intensity of  motions, stops and momentum

Only God knows when, why and where is the exact  time, style and location.
