Until Forever

What is Life?
Could it be nothing more than a series of events:
Some good, some bad, some joyful, some sad,
...to the extent of which we all must endure together.

But what defines Life?!
Is it not made more beautiful by the exquisitely bitter cup
Of our own emotions churning, and swirling within all of us...
...causing the laughter and the pain emerging afterwards to interrupt,
Testing our endeavours with an equality of measure.

And while we welcome these events as they present themselves & stop on by,
We raise our glasses to proclaim a toast towards the gleaming heavens within the sky,
And pour out the necessary emotions, each enough to measure,
As our ancestors did... in days long gone by...

For our emotions and our feelings are but an affirmation that we're alive,
And reconnected to an ancient eternal healing,
That will still be in continuation long after we've died,
So that it would seem: a Life without dreaming is not worth living.
As a Life without the quickness of your heart's beating, is not worth sharing

Even the fact that Life comprises of moments of grieving,
Shows you that your soul is not beyond moments of caring.
Not beyond moments of hoping
Not beyond moments of wishing
And not beyond moments of even daring to actually listen to what's inside...

So despair not, my dear friend,
For there will always be new dawns to meet new horizons,
As the old sun sets, so the new moon arises,
And the dramas are only here to teach you that life’s full of surprises

Until one day you may realise that: this is what the beauty of Life is...
From now until forever.
