EPHEMERAL LIFE.

HEAVENLY BLESSINGS,

EPHEMERAL LIFE

Life is full of love, beauty, joyful grace,

Or, gloomy, ugly, with its sorrowful phase.

One moment, buoyant, in the crest of ecstasy,

The next, morose in the depth of despondency.

Life is like a path laden with beautiful flowers,

Or long winding, treacherous, filled with thorns.

One moment, sweetly filled, in the essence of joy,

The next, the mournful heart pricked with a cry.

Life  is like the virginal, pristine clear blue sky,

Or filled, with shadowy dark clouds floating by.

One moment, in its warm loving embrace,

The next, cold lightening strikes the face.

Life is like a bubbling, eternally flowing river,

Or imprisoned, in the bottomless murky water.

One moment, singing and dancing with the flow,

The next, drowning in the darkness deep  below.

Without a backward glance, the unyielding life flows,

Dragging with it, sadness and miseries, happiness and glows.

The past has disappeared, in a blink of an eye, without delay,

The unpredictable, transient future, never comes to stay.

Live joyfully,  in the  present moment, live for today,

Today well lived, will eventually show the right way.

The way to happiness, peace,  the way to true love,

United, eternally together, in Gods realm we will bow.
