Life is...
Beautiful, unpleasant
Magnificent, messy
Dangerous, untroubled
Wonderful, frightening
Misery and mirth
With and without
Beginning and ending
Grand and barren
Lonely and belonging
Hopeful and despairing
Loving and hating
Unkind and forgiving
Waiting and wondering
Lengthy and fleeting
Prospering and perishing
Ravaged and mended
Longing and loathing
Too much and too little
Too long and too short
And I feel
Life alone
Is quite
Disheartening
Life is...
Often confusing
Funny and sad
Laughing and heartache
Plain and profound
Damned if I do
And damned if I don't
Sunny and somber
Empty and full
Struggling, succeeding
For better or worse
Blessed and cursed
Blissful and painful
Tormented and joyous
Hoping and doubting
Breathtaking and boring
Winning and losing
Dreaming and coping
Futile and cherished
So dark and so bright
And I know
Life with you
Is truly
Wonderful

A fine write AHB. I never knew there was so much in life! Did I know really?! lol.
Life with me is horrible - cos I keep singing. Aww, why people say 'You call that singing?' heehee.
Thank you for reading and commenting. May your heart and your life be filled with songs. Occasionally I make a joyful noise myself... but it’s just kinda noisy 🙂
The ups and downs of life are there for us all but the ups always outweigh the downs.
Yes, life is truly wonderful.
The “wonderful” in my life is very often a result of my interactions and friendships with others. Thank you for reading and commenting. That adds to the things I feel are wonderful.
