Life

Floating in an endless space,
Your mind all a flutter, your heart begins to race.
Beauties of the day become beauties of the night.
Soaring 'till dawn's early light.
The mysteries that life upholds,
The treasures too sweet to be sold,
The silence so still, unable to shatter,
Not able to understand, the facts all scatter.
The memories creeping into your mind,
Some so cruel, some so kind.
Seeing the lightning, feeling the rain,
You wonder how you ever remained sane.
