The arch of life

We are born into this life
tinged with the aura
of emerging and struggle
youth is a time
of subtle emotional discoveries
and erratic feelings
of violence against everything
it is part of the call of the world
Reaching adulthood
we elicit masks of
publicly closed faces
defences raised with lies
immutably in silence
they cry
every life an arch created
from birth to death
