The Art of Living

Toiling endlessly
Ploughing on barren land
Grappling to find hope
In a land of crushed dreams

Treading slowly
With feet succumed to earth
Struggling to seek meaning
In a world full of deceit

Dripping sweats
Eyes shedding tearless tears
Lips smiling forceful smile
Hearts longing for love

Imperfect lives
Weary minds
Broken souls
Wounded hearts

Yet...

The sun is rising...we must try to live...
The wind is blowing...we must attempt to live...
The birds are chirping...we must strive to live...
The flowers are blooming...we must aim to live
Our loved ones are calling...we must live...

For just one more day...
And for another day...
And for another day...
