Decanting Life
Deluge will continue to fall with droplets that shimmer,
Salmon will continue to venture upstream, as they are avid swimmers,
God will continue to shed his light through the world's obscurity,
Children will grow and eventually lose their ingenuous purity.
Man will continue to hunt, and the deer be slain,
Birds will sing with dulcet chirps, and bathe in the rain,
People will continue to be born in shells that will someday crack,
But while alive on earth, they will realize the knowledge they do lack.
Loved ones will continue to shed doleful eyes upon graves,
God will continue to rejoice over the lives he daily saves,
Maudlin cries will erupt towards the skies as the soul has cracked its shell,
People will descend as they made amends at the tolling of the church's bell.
Life is a stream, it is the oasis by which man lives,
It is a gift that viviparous humans will always give,
As children grow old and their youth with time wanes,
The experiences in life and love shared will always be the worthiest gains.
