Life is a plant
A seed sown
Breaking earth, tender
Mature, flowering, fruiting
Tracking the seasons
See thou in this, any know?
Life is each season
Encroaching
One upon another
Then raging in full
Beautiful or dreadful
Winter, spring, summer, falls
Life is a journey
A step begins
Continues with another
Arriving a destination
Only to commence
Yet another.
Life is the moon
crescent thin
Growing full
till it zeniths
Then ungrowth sets in
Reducing it to naught.
Life is the sun
Starting off, east
At dawn
Peaking south at noon
Diving into twilight
Buried in the west.
Life is time
From 00:00:00 hour
Seconds tick in a race
Rushing through hours
Morning, noon, night
A perpetual circle, full.
Life is human, you and I
Babies at birth
Children at play
Men at work
Retired at old age
Gone at death.
Life is a fruit
Same water, in varieties
Delightful to taste
Humbly birthed
From a beauty displayed
Lost once fertilized.
Life is a ladder
You must take a rung step first
Which elevates to the next
Success lies at the last
Then, only other way
Is down, and out.
Life is a book
One page reads
Linking to two, hundreds
Chapter to chapter
The story unfolds
Soon its over, marked "Read".
Life is indeed a challenge
Full of lessons
Not taught in schools
Nor by folklore
But by mystery itself
Ponder on it, O you wise one.
