Analogies of Life
Life is like the changing seasons
always searching for the reasons
Life is like a coming storm
clouds the anger, thunder the scorn
But soon it passes and a rainbow appears
and that heart of mine quickly adheres
To that love of mine that I want so near
the thought of losing I often feared
Life is like a blazing fire
So much mystery it makes you wiser
Life is like a forgotten dream
things look familiar so they seem
Life is like the deep blue sea
holding secrets we’d like to free
Life is like a falling leaf
carrying silence from the tree
But the flower of life is in our hearts
the love it spreads is just a start
The seeds have flourished through everyman
rising above this promised land
Life is like the rising sun
changing faces with each day to come
Life is like a summer breeze
sometimes drifting aimlessly
Life is like a glossy lake
reflecting beauty seen two ways
Life is like a voice in the wind
repeating thoughts time and again
So what is life and what is living
the answer lies deep within
So reach inside and you may find
all it takes is a little sunshine
