~ Life To Be Lived ~

Life - to be lived

Life is what we are
life is what we do
what we feel - what we think.
Life is what makes us cry
what makes us laugh.
Life is our mistakes
and the finding of truth.

Striving for a goal
might motivate us
life is the path
wherever it goes
Life is the stones
hurting my feed
Life is my suffering

What else can I do
than keep going
to wherever the way guides me
can I do more
than responding to what shows up?
Goals might be just wishful fantasies
losing their importance while walking

The hurting stones remind me
to pay attention to each step I take
opening myself to details beside the road
enjoying the shade under a tree
and the beauty of a greeting flower
I am becoming addicted to life.
