Life by Shelley Bruce...




Life is the sound of a warbler shrill

Life is the sharp pain from an icy chill

Life is the heartbeat of our favourite song

Life is Allie Sherlock busking all day long.


Life is a rosebud

Life is a lie.


Life is the last breath before we die

Life is the sound of a newborn's cry

Life is fragments leftover once we assemble all its bits

Life is those tiresome chores that give us the shits.


Life is a rosebud

Life is a lie.


Life is us gasping as we learn how to swim

Life is mandates that come at a whim

Life is guided by that voice in our heads

Life is crushed by those who confine us to bed.


Life is a rosebud

Life is a lie.
