Song of Life

Here is that poem I wrote for class. It was supposed to be an imitation of the form of another poem. I enjoyed writing it.

SONG OF LIFE

Breathless in time
I sit in deep thought
Taking in the world, the sky, the mountains
Feeling the joy, feeling life.
It whistles through the air,
A siren, singing,
Life calls

It’s music begs the wind to form

The wind moves through the trees
Holding the sun
Catching the whispers of us all
It sings life’s song

Teaching men the melody of ages

And then in the skewed expanse of existence
We learn the tune, singing with untrained voice
And we, striving so,
Make song.
Lending ourselves to the eternity of true happiness
Reaching for a moment that great height-
One moment in Heaven.
