Dear Life

Dear Life

A Poem by alexAlexander
"

It's all about how one deals with life's complexities.

"

  Life:]   

                                     Dear Life, isn't it any wonder;

                                          Life is filled with pain,

                                          Pains that can be turned into powers:

                                           When we realize and accept its necessity:

                                          Acceptance has taken its toll and now erodes.

         Like knives of pain, shuffles in losses and gain

                                          cutting flames, living behind only what remains.

                                           Cutting tides living to thrive; that’s no jive:

                                           An aging process, in the human remains.

                                          Oh! The joys of life, double take and think twice.

                                           Through gritting teeth, gasping breath, of all that’s

    left a smile between, WTF: a transmission of grace.

             You got it.   reaching for glory on the journey's end.

                                    The release is remedied; through an agonizing

                                       instinct for survival. Torch forged, in experiential

     furnace perception: since life has faded enveloped in

   a flower of illusion, and to think all your Net-Worth

                                            Is going to fit in a coffin/crematory, modern-day

     Tomb.   Embrace the profound beauty in death

     an exit into your true self, a spiritual being

    Which ultimately shrinks into a conclusion.

       How vain a thing, this life: so, it seems,

        becomes nothing much than an exercise in

     Contemplation.  Dear Life,
