It Is Your Life

From inception
In the womb
To launching
Into adulthood
And onward
It is your life

Do as you choose
Wonder, as you may
Take it serious
Or treat it like a disposable
It is yours
To name and to date
As shaking up history
Or barely making a motion

Surrounded by an atmosphere
Encapsulating you in the midst
Between blue skies
And grey clouds
And plaid and marshmallow storms
At the mercy of the deep, blue sea
Affronted by the idea of
A designated purpose

Aimlessly dancing
The blood stained feet
Of the ballerina
In a panicked flurry to be recalled
Grovels and climbs
Reaching for the safety
Of Mount Olympus.
Or retreating to another dream
It is Your Life.
