Life Poem by Jon Blanes

You come into this world
everything is new, everything is wonder.

You look to the vastness above
you are told it is the sky, you smile
and you open your eyes wide.

You grow and take hold
of another in your arms.

You create like gods, other comings
passing onto them the love and the pain of your world.

You age and you accept your madness
everything is new, everything is wonder.

You look to the vastness above
you tell yourself it is the sky, you smile
and you close your eyes wide.
