The Purpose Of Life Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

The journey of life
Serves two purposes
Like day and night
Life is creation and dreams
In the day we create
At night we dream
In the day we are outside ourselves
At night we are inside ourselves
As we create, we marvel at our own creation
And get absorbed in our own creation
As we dream, we forget ourselves
And pour our hearts out in silence
The truth is that life is neither creation nor dreams
Life is the force behind our creation and our dreams
Life seeks to expose our dreams
Life seeks to expose our creation
Life seeks to expose our mortality and immortality
To expose our body, mind and Spirit
Just like day and night are exposed
That is the purpose of life
