Life-Life Calling Poem by Mary Mc Creath

Life does not stand still
It is always on the move,
towards being or
non-being.

Did it catch your eye today?
or did it just fly by today?

A song, a word, a bird,
Can call it forth.
A weapon, disease, disaster,
and some life will cease to be.

Yet many things give birth
and life will live.

What pleasure is in life
What torment is in strife.
What joy to be alive
What silence when we die.

I caught hold of life today.
It held me it it's sway.
I felt it's meaning deep
inside of me.

I pondered and enjoyed,
The essence all around
Within the many
Sounds of life.
