YOUR LIFE IS A POEM

YOUR LIFE IS A POEM

Your life is a poem

Lived in fragments

Grabbed moments

Smashed together

In a unique

Narrative

Your life is an art-form

Snippets of joy

Stolen woes

Jumbled together

In a lifelong

Retrospective

Your life is a painting

A mixed palette

Haphazardly

Brought together

To make you a

Masterpiece

Your life is a novel

A story unfolding

In tiny chapters

Heading together

To an unknowable

Epilogue

Your life is a sculpture

Carved from a block

Of pristine stone

Wrought together

Revealing something

Elemental

Your life is a fruitcake

Ingredients mixed

Through the years

Beaten together

In a rising

Showstopper

Your life is a poem

A priceless collection

Of new ideas

Forming together

Making you an

Individual
