Literature Text

Life is so fleeting
Chance ever breathing
With moments of joy
Remiss
We wake and dream
Through all of this

So we reach out
Seeking for a purpose
One to drive us
Compelling us to do
The very things we do
To accomplish something
If not anything
Just to feel fulfilled
Thrilled
At the end of the day
Just to know
That we are still living
Still breathing
Destined
To be in this moment
Right here
Right now
Wherever we are

But then
There are those moments
That we do not expect
When life so suddenly
Seems to fall off track
And what we knew
To once be true
Looses all meaning
And there and then
We spend
Our every waking thought
Filled more and more
With misery and regret
When all we wish
That we could do
Is to just go back
And undo the past

Just to think
That we could spend
So many moments
Fleeting as they are
Somehow believing
A miracle will manifest
When life around us
Is still breathing
When chances like these
Are never worth seeing
Through the end
There is still hope
However small
To be found
In the faces of those
That we find
Ourselves to surround

Yes the very souls
We have grown to trust
Untold lives before
So many memories
From times beyond
Now unwind
Filled with moments
That will always abound
Whether of joy or pain
Of loss or gain
With purpose within
And meaning above
Driven by dreams
Driving our fears out

This is love

Life is never so fleeting
And chances are
As we wake and dream
That hope is still breathing
So it bears to say
Love is with us here

Everyday
