Life Simply Is!

A poem by one of my favourite poets, none other than Edgar Allen Poe

"Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep-while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?"



Look at the environment, the endless stream of life that is upon you before your very eyes, it all is of nothing, enters into nothing, without a cause and without a purpose, just the stream of life, like the river, like the trees.

Can't you see?! It is a never ending flow of beauty, yes, like the birds that cheep, they don't cheep for a cause, they are an embodiment of life, a never ending expression of life.

One cannot grasp life, one cannot hold on to it, it is free, the people in your life you hold on too, they will go, your parents, your family, your friends, everything "you" think you own, is never meant to last.

Don't you see the beauty in that? the freedom that is, for "you" are the same, you appear out of nothing and you seemingly enter into nothing..

But take a look deeper, did you ever exist?

Just the never ending stream of life.

You can call it a dream, a play, whatever, life cannot be labeled it cannot be understood, it just is, and god, how beautiful it is.

Embrace the infinite nothingness that you are.

For the beauty of life will go on forever with or without your existence.
