Life

by White Orchid   Jan 12, 2012


Newborn slowly gasping for air
Discovering the world through mother's stare
Experiencing life for the first time
Embarking on the toughest climb

Life is something all must face
Childhood grows to middle age
The unexpected shall occur
Years will pass as a blur

Old age creeps as a thief in the night
Death as our enemy we'll lose the fight
Life goes as if dust in the wind
It quickly fades and comes to an end

Another word exercise.

    This was a really neat poem I would say. This is so true how life just passes by us in a blink of an eye. We have to make the most of what we have i front of us. Nice write. :)

    Interesting poem! I love the description of the newborn, and how it first discovers life, and then how you continued to describe childhood and old age.. it was a nice poem about life... but a bit melancholic at the end.

    The final stanza was so strong yet sad:

    Old age creeps as a thief in the night
    Death as our enemy we'll lose the fight
    Life goes as if dust in the wind
    It quickly fades and comes to an end

    >> I like the idea of old age creeps as a thief in the night, that was a really clever quote!!
    I wrote about how time is a thief in my poem White Noise, so for some reason I remembered it when I read this part.

    Great job!
