There is no perfection
there is no perfect life
anyone trying to obtain it
will find nothing but strife
there is only harmony
and balance
risks taken
with a lance
because life and death
together
are perfection
it's a dance
love and hate together
make resurrection
that's our chance
you simply can't have evil
if it has no good to fight
you can't likewise have daylight
if it doesn't give in to night
there's only the path between the two
but who amongst us can take it
for the rest of us there's life and death
and both are what we make it
it really is that simple
it truly is that easy
so live your life as if you're dead
and maybe then you'll see
that life is what we make of it
and life is but a gift
you can look the horse within its mouth
but dare you ask him what is next
if you let him know you understand
that you see inside his master plan
please share the knowledge
in your own little way
please make it matter
but don't plan to stay
we are transient
we are temporary
we don't own anything
though the law states contrary
this is easy
for me to say
for such a long time
I've felt this way
though folks think that I'm crazy
or an alkie who is lazy
it's not laziness
it's not craziness
that got me to think this way
it's the stories
and the heartaches
that I see from day to day
my eyes behind the glasses
are really stronger
than you think they are
though I'm nearsighted
I like to think
that I truly see real far
and what I see
between the trees
are stars, the burning stars
so knowing that
I hope you'll shine
and show them where we are
on planet Earth
this planet's dirt
and not a dwarf or gas
our lives they are much smaller
but they too, they too must pass
remember this
like your first kiss
remember this
when you need to
reflect on this
may you not miss
the lesson this
when it needs you
there is no perfect life

my favorite lines
"that life is what we make of it
and life is but a gift"
yes indeed, life is a balance
between the dead, the living
and the barely breathing
and the harmony that we can find
as we do, our daily grind
and leave the past, to what's behind
as we move ahead
and do more more living
more loving
and there'll not be, ever an end
for life is an eternity
an infinity
our bodies may turn to dust
our joints my crack and rust
but we as spiritual souls
will forever, go on being
and be forever young
and never just old
or grow cold
For love with keep going
