this is a poem

this is a poem
about the meaning of life
a chariot flashing across the sky
taking each burden or obstacle without a sigh
 
this is a poem
about the definition of trust
knowing a crack of the whip or a tug on the reins
may give or take away but believing something will remain
 
this is a poem
about something called happiness
knowing that this life isn’t designed to last
but living every moment as it goes by so fast
 
this is a poem
not wise words or paradox in sight
just thoughts about life and becoming truly aware
and finally realizing that nothing else can ever compare
 
this is a poem
about the meaning of life
that some say rises and falls like the tide
while I just take joy in the fact that I can finally be alive
