Can it be?

via Pinterest

I read the following poem on one of the Positive Patty blogs I follow...I like it...

Can it be

that life has afforded me

the chance to be,

to sink or swim on a whim

as earth spins on a pin?

Whatever floats your boat is buoyancy you see.

Can it be?

Can it be

that my soliloquy

can be heard

without a herd

through thick and thin

with legs to run up under the sun?

Whatever melts your butter

is heat aflutter.

Isn’t that neat?

Can it be

that my eyes can see

as far as they can see

up to what lies in

the edge of the horizon?

Whatever lights your candle

is the spark that’s aim became a flame.

Is it all the same?

Can it be

that our brains can admire

that which we can inquire,

before we must expire?

We better aspire

to live man-on-wire.

Whatever blows your hair back

is the wind, I grinned.

“Life is short,” I rescind.

Life is life. Let it be lived without chagrin.

—Bassam Tarazi
