A life well lived life is a rare and beautiful thing

Let the sunshine
Burn away my mask
Let the rain
Wash away my past
Let me be what I am
The warrior poet
The wayward son
The Canberran through and through
The finder of fun
In otherwise fruitless days
Laid back in a winters haze
And we all work hard
In our own special way
To do something real
To not waste the day
For me it’s the pen
For some it’s the sounds
The euphonic bliss
Of riffs by the pound
Catharsis is what I seek
Processing the years of pain
When all was bleak
My best years down the drain
And you’ll find in time
That all is both
Profound and meaningless
Everything and nothing
At the same time
And on quiet day
On planet earth
More happens than could fill
A million pages of prose
So we try to catch a little
And bring reason and rhyme
To the tiny part of it
That we can see and touch
And maybe we’ll be lucky
And life might be
Strange and significant
Rich in meaning and light
And something truly beautiful

I am perpetually in awe of the scale and complexity of human activity on planet earth. A mind blowing amount of lives all seeking dignity and meaning, living out infinite permutations of behavior. It’s profound and ordinary at the same time. I truly feel that a life well lived life is a rare and beautiful thing and something definitely worth aspiring to.
The world is an amazing place.
Very engagingly evoked
