The Race of Life
The race of life a steeplechase.
Birthed, suckled, imprinted, fed,
taught and launched on one's way
Past the numerous milestones of life,
hopes, goals, failures, disappointments,
opportunities, knowledge, fulfillment, success
The inside spirit questing while
the outer body is busily engaged
in running the endless Race of Death
Until at last, insight achieved,
values settled, errors repented,
one is facing the eternal After.
