She's my friend
A pure godsent
Stays by my side
In every moment
The morning sky
The chirping birds
Soaring high
In the nature's curves
The blooming plants
The moving ants
Running errands
In rocks and sands
The oceans and seas
The air and the trees
My hair and the breeze
My tickly sneeze
She's my friend
A pure Godsent
Stays by my side
In every moment
I see her in happiness
I see her in sorrow
She lives in my heart
And the instincts I follow
Trust me I've cried
A little I've died
Every single day
Without hope
With dismay
I thought
She's lost
When in pain
Times of no gain
Anxiety and tension
Grief and depression
The hurt in my heart
Might forever last
How much I endured
Tired and lured
By desire to die
Or cry and cry and cry
No vision in sight
Having no insight
Of where to find
My life and bind
Her to me again
Be rid of disdain
The boulder on
My shoulder
I can't carry
I'm weary of misery
This life a deceit
With age I receive
The wisdom to know
Happiness is a show
Of mere deception
Pain and sorrow
The only inception.
She smiles again
I cry out of pain
Why you doing this?
Why ain't you a bliss?
She replies then
'I'm life' amen!
Happiness and hurt
Wound, pain and dirt
Beauty and mirth
Death or birth
I stand everywhere
I'm here I'm there
The stony or living
Maybe Surviving
Or just breathing
You call it nature
And every creature
With a soul
Without a soul
I exist in all
"Life" you call
You have to see
I'm just being me
It's your perspective
I exist irrespective
Of hope and dismay
In pain that will sway
Me out of you
And through the blue
But I'm even there
You just've to be aware
Remember always
I'll find my ways
To be your friend
I'm purely godsent
I'll stay by your side
In every moment
Even if you fail to see
Me around and free
I'm always here
And will always be
And when death
Takes you away
We've parted
Think you may
But I'll be there
On the other side
Only the transition
You'll abide
Whichever side
Of the realm you decide
I'll stand
Lively and grand
As I said here or there
You'll find me everywhere
My life's my friend
A pure Godsent
Stays by my side
In every moment
