An ode to life

I met with magnificence today
Something I’ve not known for all my life
Its stateliness rings
And yet humility stretches throughout
A voice unwavering and strong
And power I felt like bell tolls
With an orchestra of strength that blasts out
A tide of might and inspiration
Its ruling grounds grand to the hilt
Always poised to take on the world
Towering over day and sweeping out night
Yet little enough to know what’s right
The song unsung that explodes in my head
Melodious hauntings in strings of splendour
Sparkling majesty that shines in honest brilliance
With its robe shrouding everything
In sudden crashes and deliberate strides
Bowing down to only the creator
A king of life and gold and silver
Munching punches and blowing gales
Commanding masses to breathe and be hale
With chills of war and a famine of peace
It leads the choirs of kingdoms to sing
And soar through the lands on spread out wings
With the help of angels in splendid white
From heaven they charge with fists for peace
And bolts of anger in their hands
And tears to quench the hungry
It never was proud
But confident with a distinguished face
King of treasures that cannot be seen
Of greatness that rides the high skies
And trumpet shouts of joy when life itself can smile
With arms raised to the roar of drums
Savouring the beauty of stars
As they burst and burn into blossoms of regal colours
Impressively built to save the world from sullenness
And there’s no chance of stopping any time yet
Because it has all and everything to write about
More than just feelings and senses and marching soldiers
More than God and truth and love and lies
And it is fearless and fearful
Gallant and selfish
It opens castle doors and gates to hearts of men
And how this massive infestation of life
Could ravel into one
Is a secret that everyone knows
It's all about disappointments and joyousness
And creation and destruction
More than what a song is able
More than what is you and me
