The Perimeter of Life

I strolled around the precipice of life,
and found a tiny transient of time,
toddling around the periphery,
Tumultuous, boisterous, aggressive – it was my desire.

I waded through the backwaters of life,
and found a ripple swirling around,
like a meander on sand,
Unending, irregular , inconsistent – it was my endeavor.

I ran on the shore of life,
and found a wave rushing far and near,
forming troughs and crests,
Indefinite, infinite , limitless – it was my ambition.
