(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?

ReplyDeleteendless possibilities
Sunrises and sunsets
bumps here and there
but at the end of the day bliss finds you
Beautifully written Genie!!
Life is:
ReplyDeleteThe 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:
ReplyDeleteA grand novel
Many chapters
Exciting adventures
Interesting characters
A page turner...
Life is:
ReplyDeleteA 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.
ReplyDeleteCan't forget the coffee.
mmm -- you covered the bases so well, and I love the colors in your art piece.
ReplyDeleteLife is
something to breathe in deeply
cover in flowers
sigh gently
tear asunder, give thanks,
and begin
anew each day!
Beautiful, Genie!
ReplyDeleteI 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
Oooooops.....I meant to say that I like your painting today ~ :)
ReplyDeleteLife to me is an adventure full of love, surprises, sorrow and unexpected blessings.
ReplyDeleteLife is...
ReplyDeleteboot 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
ReplyDeletefriendships
with fun and sharing along the way
laughter and tears
and, occasionally,
a falling out or two.
PS We're about to open the virtual Paint exhibition on 70 Plus ...
ReplyDeletePlease pick up your invitation.
Cheers

Life is an attitude
ReplyDeleteIt is what you think it is.
For me
Life is mostly shiny and good
with some shadows of sadness.
Wonderful ms. Genie Sea!
ReplyDeleteLife is the ultimate
sublime romance
a dance
to be fully and sweetly
completely immersed in
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!
ReplyDeleteI really like this piece Genie. It is really eye catching, and the msg is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMichelle :)
I am late, always late and perhaps that is life for me at this very moment...
ReplyDeletelife is late...
ah well, tomorrow is another day, is it not? that is something I least forget.
such is life
now
Thank you so much everyone! Your contributions are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteJune- 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.
