Life is brief, therefore it's intriguing
But sadly, some lose sight of its swiftness,
And disheartened upon his tumbles.
Had man foreseen his drift or slips
Surely, to him, life won't be mysterious;
Or had he been forewarned of perils,
To him, curiosity won't be elicited;
Had he been cautioned of everything —
Life to him, won't be daring or enthusiastic.
What is life without a hurdle?
It would be just idleness and boredom.
A risky voyage and an expedition
Into the unknown is worth venturing.
Perhaps, amidst the brevity resides —
A fountain of hope and exploration.
