Life is a Mystery
We are born innocent
crawling slowing—
learning how to stumble and fall.
As time passes we walk anew
fasting our pace—
running into our future nimble,
wishing for all things
we do not have.
Life’s natural pace ages us to maturity
with the understanding
everything evolves and revolves
around the sun, the moon and the stars,
constant with their brilliance,
distance and wonder.
Life, so simple…..
so complex….
…. a wonderment
only few truly understand and appreciate.
