What is life?

What is life
if not a journey
in time?

Since we are born
we don't realize
how time flies.

Seeing new places,
meeting new people,
gaining experience.

Every thing lays
within time.
Grab its hand.

Nobody knows
your way,
but yourself.

That's a true cliche
that everybody says.

I only know
my footprints remain
'till the next
day.

I am only trying
to live freely,
with joy
and inspiration.

That is only
me though,
make your way worth.

In the journey
we learn and grow
limitless,
if we want.

Our destination awaits.

Everyone's answer to this would be different, I'm not sure myself, what I do know is the older I get, the faster time seems to slip by. Food for thought here.

[Leandro Mendez]

Spirits on a human journey are all we are...passing through time. Splendid read and write.

[Leandro Mendez]

Thanks a lot Brandon, how does the saying go? "we are souls having a human experience"? or something like that

[Brandon S. Whitten]

Something like that. It amuses me some believe they're human seeking God

[Leandro Mendez]

i see this could turn into to a long conversation, the subject is too broad hahah

[Brandon S. Whitten]

Indeed...much to learn in a lifetime and still know nothing.

Awesome job!

thanks a lot :) I just had a funny thought, life is the result from being alive hahah (but its more complex than that i guess)

[s y e]

Time flies by indeed. So perhaps we should take its hand. I have walked my own path knowing that time is fleeting so we need to make the most of whatever we have left. "Live like we are dying"

[Leandro Mendez]

oh yeah, but I don't know if we should live like we are dying, I think we should live like we are alive hahaha if that makes sense, some of us including myself every now and then feel numb or some just become zombies from the life we've got accustomed to, while forgetting there's more that meets the eye ;)

[DCT ponderings]

I think we are saying the same thing. :) There is indeed always more is good to remember. I know I have gotten lost in the monotony of everyday life and forgotten to look up.
