Life is...

(click to enlarge)

Life is...
a mystery
with clues along the way
some red herrings
and exciting revelations

Life is...
a journey
with stops along the way
some delays
and thrilling adventures

Life is...
a symphony
with overtures along the way
some miscues
and inspiring crescendos

Life is...
a masterpiece
with endless vistas along the way
some blotches
and wondrous expression

Life is...
a gift
with tassels and sparkles and bows
some wrapping to unfold
and fascinating surprises

Want to play along?
What is life to you?

Life is...
a love story
With the lover's heart at stake
some heart aches
and some joy beyond measure

happy friday !

Life is...
endless possibilities
Sunrises and sunsets
bumps here and there
but at the end of the day bliss finds you

Beautifully written Genie!!

Life is:
The thrill of the unknown
The thrill of the ride with bumps and waves
The thrill of learning each and every day
The thrill of knowing we choose our way.

Life is:
A grand novel
Many chapters
Exciting adventures
Interesting characters
A page turner...

Life is:
A game that everyone plays
With no worry about winning or losing
Full of twists and turns
And a whole lot of joy if you're playing it right

Life is an adventure with full of joy.

Can't forget the coffee.

Cynthia said...

mmm -- you covered the bases so well, and I love the colors in your art piece.

Life is
something to breathe in deeply
cover in flowers
sigh gently
tear asunder, give thanks,
and begin
anew each day!

Beautiful, Genie!

I heard this last year and it stuck with me -

Live is a Gift,
Live everyday as a thank you note.

For me -

Life is a precious journey,
I am grateful to be a part of.
It offers contrasts so that
I may learn and grow.
It offers joyful moments so that
I may feel peace and contentment.
It offers family and friends so that I may feel loved.
It offers like-minded souls so that I may find friendship.
It offers vast beauty so that I may share in the glow.
It offers mystery so that
I may seek enlightenment and connect with my soul.

Love, light and peace,
Serena

Life to me is an adventure full of love, surprises, sorrow and unexpected blessings.

Life is...
boot camp
a training ground
for our forever adventures.

(That sounds harsh but isn't.)

Your poem is beautiful, Genie! I so love your writing voice and the way you put words together.

P.S. Your poem fits with the prompt/form for this week's Poetry Play Thursday!

Life is
friendships
with fun and sharing along the way
laughter and tears
and, occasionally,
a falling out or two.

Life is an attitude
It is what you think it is.
For me
Life is mostly shiny and good
with some shadows of sadness.

Tammie Lee said...

Wonderful ms. Genie Sea!

Life is the ultimate
sublime romance
a dance
to be fully and sweetly
completely immersed in

The Muse said...

life is a wonderment...A place where the joy and honor to meet so many...such as YOU...makes all the difference in the world!

I am late, always late and perhaps that is life for me at this very moment...

life is late...

ah well, tomorrow is another day, is it not? that is something I least forget.

such is life
now

Genie Sea said...

Thank you so much everyone! Your contributions are fabulous!

June- I am honored. :)

Linda- Don't you worry about it. In the blogging world there is never "late". :)

I think everyone pretty much covered what life is. I guess I will add that life is a blessing and we should honor it with love and respect.
