Is It, Life?

Is it, life?
The past fringed
With precarious visions;
Visions of hate and love
Enmeshed together
Within the bowl we now call
‘Memory’.
What is life?
Is it the existence
Of memories past or
Is it the mental image
Of one’s tenacious future?
The future fringed
With vibrant visions;
Visions of hope and love
Enmeshed together
Within the bowl we now call
‘Faith’…
Faith in one’s own future;
The desire to deposit one’s
Soul in safety for further use.
As money in a bank.
What is life, then?
But a mere pantomime
Before death.

Isn't that the question of the century! Unique and thought provoking write. I was just wondering the exact same thing myself this morning. Fine job!

Hmmmmmn... I agree with Laurie.. very thought provoking indeed.. But, I do have my own opinion as well [I hope u don't mind!! hehehe!]. Life is what u make it become. It's what u want it 2 be. It's in ur control, no matter how crazy it might get at times. I believe that God gave us free will to try our own hands at what we become. So, what's it going to be?
