Twelve & One Ways To Look At Life

I
Around these fields of sunflower
Sunshine and seed succeed
Like blossom of a life

II
The far blue of the ocean
Reeks of salt and fish water
A place fishermen in life once stood

III
The winds blow at the dawn of spring
Bugs dance at the rise of moon

IV
A cove down by the beach
Brown with little reach
Yet stands a life guard tall
As if stone

V
Kids dance on these lands
While men fight their wars
Their happiness very innocent
While their blood flows like steel
A new and old generation come to pass

VI
Heroes in their work fields
Stand mightier than the sword
Taller than the eye can see
These structures they’ve built
From steel, blood and sweat
Engineers in their own fields
Have papers up to their knees

VII
Figures now in our past
Built life lines till the end
Of roots we’ve inherited
With blood of the diligent
For posterity undiminished

VIII
Saviors of our lands
Protectors of the realm
Forwards to battle
At the forefront of war
With blood now diminished

IX
The birds and kids sing
Of happiness and sorrow
Asking us to live our lives in life

X
Hiding in the shadows
Scheming melodies
That are quiet shallow
Taking gold that is hollow

XI
Whole lives dedicated to practice
Garnering energy and power
Going around the world as fellows
To compete for metals a hallow
Fame churned in the mix
For nationalist fervorism

XII
The time is ending
Life is ascending

XII + I
The moon shows up
The story is now ending
However keep in mind
There is strictly one thing

Life is just your beginning
