Float above a difficult world

Life is everything.

What is life?

Is life almond M&Ms,
playing golf,
a clean bill of health?

Is life a good book,
a cup of coffee,
a soft chair?

Is life a safe place to sleep,
the birth of a child,
the touch of a loved one?

Is life a field of sunflowers,
a smooth ocean for sailing,
a puddle after the rain?

Is life perfect,
lopsided,
rising and fading?

What is life?


Life
Is
Everything.

    This poem was composed while attending a Heinemann workshop in Maine and inspired by the great teaching of Linda Rief.

    Thanks, Tim!
