The Meaning of Life is a poem I wrote expressing gratitude for the duality of life. It is intended to inspire being in the present moment and finding gratitude in the simple things. This life we are given is a gift and an opportunity to learn, grow, and most importantly - love.

Here I am standing in front of the mirror,

Gazing into the same eyes I've seen for all of these years.

My body is wrinkling,

My hair turning gray.

My eyes stay the same,

They never change.

I look deep into the ocean that is my eyes,

Where a million thoughts,

Ideas,

And feelings reside.

I swim through the sea and see clear as day.

It is me,

Truly me.

I have become myself.

My highest self,

My truest self.

I have become my vision.

All of my dreams have come true.

I dream a new dream and it shows up too.

I am the woman I've always wanted to be.

I've worked so hard to feel this free.

My heart is overflowing with gratitude,

The key to happiness.

My soul is aligned,

Matched with the divine.

Timing is perfect,

Everything meant for me is mine.

As I walk through the days,

I notice things.

The trickling water of the fish tank,

The fish so calm and serene.

The gorgeous sunrise and the beautiful sunset filled with hope and love.

The sky is painted for me.

Everything opens up for me.

Everything happens so perfectly.

I am blessed beyond belief.

Coffee in the morning,

Relaxing on the couch with a cozy blanket.

As soon as I think life cannot possibly get better,

It does.

Everything on my path has led me here.

Everything was for a reason.

Every season.

I'm at the top of the mountain right now and I'm enjoying every second,

For I know that life will bring me back to the bottom.

But that is what makes the top so much more sweet.

I'm thankful to know this much love,

But I only appreciate it because I've known immense heartache and defeat.

Duality is hard but necessary.

Life is hard but oh so worth it.

I've discovered the meaning of life.

It is love.
