Born into this world
You are
Naive and full of hope.
Protected by a loving mother
Dreams are meant to chase after.
A ray of white light, possibilities galore.
Now a little curious
You are
Observing and learning.
Cherished by a family
Spending time; ever so happily.
Always demanding more.
Young and rebellious
You are
Questioning your existence.
Seeing the other side
Life is a mess but still, you bide.
Seeking what’s in store.
A little wiser
You are
Stable and calm.
A monochromatic gradient in your way
What was white, now turning to grey.
Fascinated by a life which you now adore.
Old
You are
Sagacious yet tired.
Now able to see the end
Accepting what life has given, something godsend.
Returning into a black void forevermore.
