The Essence Of Life

The gentle breeze in her hair

The sway to her flowing dress

With no sad thought in her mind

Her intoxicating gyration

In the meadow of plenty.

Without sadness, she danced

Without pain, she sang

Without hurt, she praised

Without ever knowing pain.

Delusional happiness in her heart

For how can you know life without death

How can you be happy without ever being sad

How tranquil can you be without ever hurting.

For life seeks its balance

That is the essence of life

To cry, to one day be happy

To live, one day die

To hurt, one day know peace

This is the essence of life.
