Life's shape!

The endless questions of what is life?

  Always a mystery for so quick a mastery

Even to the masters of many

Mysteries of the mysterious

 World we live in;

The question remains mysteriously

Inexhaustibly fathomed

So I opt to ask not

what life is but rather it’s shape?

Is life short?

Is life shallow?

Is life narrow?

Oh yes! I think it is!

But wait! (I doubt) the war soldier will differ that

Even a single day in the battlefield to him like a decade

No I don’t think it is!

(Short shallow and narrow)

So;

Is life long?

Is life deep?

Is life wide?

Oh yes! I think it is

But wait! (I doubt) a teenager in a dying bed will disagree

If he has had enough of it

No! I don’t think it is!

(Long deep and wide)

Well!

Still another mystery

Its seems to depend;

Depend on what though??

On so many things it seems to swing

On so many things it seems to float

Not once but daily it swings and floats on lots

Every time on many angles it’s displayed

On what one is looking for in it...

On what one is looking at in it...

On when one is looking at it ...

On how one is looking at it...

On whose eyes one is looking at it...

On the whos’ whats’ whens’ and hows’ it always swings

But the; who shapes it

To me matters most

I find it short, shallow n’ narrow yet

I find it also long, deep n’ wide

So how is life? I continue to ask

I think it goes on and on

Just like my questions about it does

If the question’s of its nature goes on and on

Then arises another mystery

I think life definitely
has to be longer  n' deeper than my question
about it's shape!!!!

I better jump into its eternity

I better remain in its eternal path forever

I better seek the ship that promises

Eternity for

I want to see life’s other side

I better stay in the Jesus’ ship

For then only shall I see where it leads
