LIFE, LIFE IT IS

Life is life,
and not its outcomes.
Not the big house
on top of the mountain,
nor the crowns and medals
(golden or imitation) that fill the shelves.
Life is not just that.
Life is life,
and it's the greatest;
who takes it away
takes everything.
Not the long trips
to distant lands and cities,
nor the strange people
(better or worse photographed)
we meet there.
Life is not just that.
Life is life,
and it's the greatest;
who takes it away
takes everything.
Not the rain on the roof,
nor the hail on the window,
nor the snow, nor the moon,
not even the light itself
(so wonderful).
Life is not just that.
Life is life,
and it's the greatest;
who takes it away
takes everything.
Not that woman or that man
whispering in our ear,
not even the parents or the children,
the siblings or
the friends
(now and forever).
Life is not just that.
Life is life,
and it's the greatest;
who takes it away
takes everything.
