HOW I SEE LIFE THROUGH MY LENS ( A POEM)
Mayowa Akintola-Daniels · Adeleke University, Ede
As a teenager and the young man I'd soon become.
Life is a movie and a really crazy one.
It evolves and changes but still repeats each day, like a huge piece of wood on a hill or bread on a hawker's tray.
The young grow old and the old fade away, they transcend into deeper realms and soon we'll all be gone.
People laugh and people cry, people mourn while other laugh and taunt to scorn.
Life to me is a haven, one gifted to us by God above.
To display our talents and showcase our gifts.
To bask in his blessings and enjoy his grace as well as all of its benefits.
However life is tricky and like a spider's web a lot of things are hard to discern, but to live right be as cunning as a serpent and as subtle as a dove.
Some people thrive in quiet realms while others dwell well amongst many men, other dwell in times of conflicts, strikes and rifts.
Life is like a book with a lot of pages and chapters, a lot of stories that end in tears or happily ever afters.
a page for each stage but in the middle is where mine currently sits.
Like a vineyard of flowers is as blissful, that is such how life is.
But do not go gentle, any threat you see must be shot on sight.
Life is beautiful and good, like a purging or catharsis you may go through joy, pain or crisis.
Sometimes you're UP, others you're down, don't worry too much lest negative thoughts may drown, be brave and take heart, be ready to fight.
Life is like a timer, all is pre-determining from your birth to death.
There's no time to play around, no time to waste!
Like The Weeknd said "Hurry up cause tomorrow might be late."
Stop taking pleasures in alcohol, sex or bets, but seek righteousness and God, those are the keys to live right here on earth.
What may apply to you may not be my taste, seek to live in peace and harmony, avoid sadness and melancholy, be patient, never be in haste!
Life is a garden, a playground for man, heaven is the place of assessment and that begins once we touch its gates.
Life is love, it's a gift from God to man.
It's one worth being thankful for, because you and others still want it more.
The grace to sleep & wake, the joy of wealth and the wealth we've gained.
God loves us and we should be grateful, because he is love and he gave us power because most of what he does we too can.
So from the earth's surface to the deepest core.
Should praise him and his name adore.
The way I see life through my lense.
Shows and portrays how I use my sense.....
The pain and pressure it brings is so intense.
But love & joy guards me & blocks the fence.
It's a beautiful piece, I could understand your emotions, and how unpredictable life is.
