What is life?
Is it a breath
Always going in and out
Capturing the saltiness of the sea

What is life?
Is it the ocean
Free and powerful


What is life?
Is it a cloud
Always reforming
Never having a place to go

What is life?
Is it a briefcase
Holding paper
Never flexible

What is life?
We may never know
but we might be
Life
