Is life but a mist?
the eyes can't see clearly
we have to imagine
what is before us--sighting partially

is the angst of everyone
journeying in uncertainty
with hopes and dreams
as each seeks to chart their destiny-

who ever does say
living life is sailing in calm waters? verily
the mist is testing man's courage and nobility-
he who dares walk through will score the final victory

to be greeted by pure sunshine
which dispels the mist and lo ! beautifully
mysteriously he emerges as a man reborn
he has become what he aspires to be.
