This being human is a quest
from birth to our final breath
along the way we travel many
paths making decisions at
the crosswalks of life
This being human is a gift
one not to be taken lightly
we are stewards of the earth
there is no other place that
we can live in a bodily state
This being human is a river
always flowing towards the
ocean facing the challenges
of strong and calming waters
navigating the currents of life
This being human is a tree
growing roots and branching
out in uniqueness and beauty
connected to the earth, yet
always reaching for the heavens
This being human is a mystery
searching for clues to solve
what we cannot comprehend
the unsolved riddles of life,
death and everything in between

DeleteI’m glad you joined us with ‘This being human’, Truedessa. There is still time to link to the Poetics prompt, which is open until Sunday. Being human is indeed a lifelong quest and a gift; I wish more people would take their stewardship of the earth seriously. I especially love the lines:

DeleteThat last stanza is so true. We're ALL trying to figure out the what and why of it all.
ReplyDeleteHi Bev that we are, always deciphering the meaning of life.
DeleteI think this is the best part of being human... alas there are too many who thinks that being human ends in themselves.
ReplyDeleteSo true Bjorn.
