Life humbles the soul,
that bold sharer of raw feelings.
Feelings shaped in the fire of real life,
life marked deep by time's firm hand.
Yet an unclaimed belief whispers stop:
pause, stay, embrace the pain inside.
Feelings pull us into deep thought,
thoughts sparking memories, sharp and real.
Memories linked to sources that rise high,
lifting our words to question now,
the past, the thin link between.
Tomorrow comes unasked, right ahead,
carrying life's cost, that heavy mystery.
We think about what was, and enjoy the journey's curve.
But the heart wants to connect, to hold on.
Still, we say yes: all souls must go forward.
In humility's grace, we step into the dawn.
