Life

**Rough copy

What is life? 
A process, we seldom stop to recognize
A quest, which in our ignorance we jeopardize

Life, a journey we barely comprehend
Beautiful 
Fearsome 
Fleeting

A collection of just moments
Moments of confusion
Moments we regret
Moments we admire 
Moments which set our soul on fire

Like a beautiful Tango 
Life intoxicates us through its melody
Where  sadness, power and joy combine
Seducing us with every step of its unknown
Sometimes you laugh
Sometimes you cry

Life...
A time in which we hunger for eternity
The ground of unconsciousness 
The eagerness to discover what's around the corner
Within this amazing journey we are but a foreigner.

Life is moments
The brightness of a star
The smile of a passersby
A tear rolling down your cheek
The embrace of a mother
The gentle touch of a lover

What is life?
The big mountain we are to climb
Where the hero in us has to rise 
Pain and laughter combined

Life is grief tangle with innocence
Where sadness and pleasure ran wild
Life is music inspiring you to continue 
Life is chaos full of hellos and goodbyes

Life, the eternal smile of God
A river of honey and lava
where you must dream your dream
Before you expiration date

It runs its course the way a river runs to the ocean
Through our fingers it slips away
We forget we are here to dream again
To create
To find ourselves!

-Sofia E. Falcone-
