Truth about life


image from http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/


Life is a journey
That is the truth
Feels like a tourney
But no one can lose

Life is an illusion
That is the truth
A temporary vision
Like passing youth

Life is a lesson
That is the truth
Each soul's mission
A path to smooth

Life is a moment 
In time and space
A way we have chosen
And blessed by His grace

    This poem leaves me feeling that truth cannot really be held at all, it is a journey, illusion, lesson, moment, don't squander it.

      Thanks Robyn. That comes from the Hindu philosophy that everything we know is actually maya or illusion.

      Thanks Martha. Life is supposed to be simple, we just complicate it unnecessarily. Tried to bring that out too by keeping it simple. Blessings and love to you too my lovely friend.

    Wonderful ways of describing this journey--and like someone above said--it feels like the truth oof it is to be experienced --not held--

    " . . . Life is a moment. ." I like that best. It's no more complicated than that. Is it?

    You've written a joyful reminder. It would be well for us to dwell on it.

    Cheers!
