Life

• Artist: iKaze Arashi
• Description: Well, I've come back to poetry after a years break. I wrote this poem when I was confusing myself to death,"What is life?" So,thats what this poem is about, although I wrote this a year ago, I may make a new version, since I have a different definition of it now.
  
  So, here's the first version.

Life is a mystery not to be solved
only to be lived to its fullest
so that its meaning
luminous tones of time;
the true test of aging humanity.

Life is a dream from which you,
in you awakening should never
lose sight of
or you will be doomed to die
in the hot furnace of reality
which transforms the soul
and minds of human bodies
into mere wisps of smoke
which rise to the heavens
and is consumed by them

Life, the ageless sage
furtive and powerful
yet,
so awesome
and tragic.
