LIFE



Life is for the living,
So now I am leaving,
This vicious circle of life,
A life without meaning.

Mystery lying in our soul living,
A lie without the soul living,
For a heart that knows no love,
Then a life should not live.

A mother's nature to nurture,
Is her living kind of nature,
To birth life in nature,
Living nature to nurture.

A life without meaning,
Is the human nature of living,
A life that live,
Is a live life alive.
