It Is

It’s simple and sweet Like a soft melody It’s complicated and chaotic Like a triumphant fanfare It’s quiet and gentle Like the summer breeze It’s strong and defining Like the winter wind It’s calm and serene Like a lake in the meadow It’s passionate and impulsive Like the rapids in a river It’s easy to believe in Like magic when you’re a child It’s hard to understand Like reality when you’re an adult It’s happiness and hope Like a miraculous recovery It’s pain and suffering Like a tragic loss It’s freeing and exciting Like living forever It’s captivating and frightening Like a slow death It is what it is Like everything else In this harsh Yet wonderful world
