A Prayer to Life

Every time I sit to write, my words land on the page as a song… a poem… a prayer to life

L’Chaim!
But why?
What’s the purpose for these words and for these rhymes
Is this God’s sense of humor with me to not take it too seriously?
And to keep it light, joyful, and loving I would say so.
Oh, it feels so good to write this poetry
Like a breath of fresh air
So, I can get these thoughts out of me and into the world
Living somewhere outside my body
They feel important to share as if my expression is that of others as well.
My experience of these words feels familiar
Like they aren’t just mine but can be shared by anyone to relate to
You see, life IS universal
And we’re all walking a path
Predestined, perfect, powerfully unique, and intentionally inspiring.
