Life is...
Dreams, realities (or illusions) and memories.

Life is...
A story that tells itself and leaves you guessing

Life is...
Full of dark spaces filled with stars.

succinct and fine!

I am especially fond of the ending!:

"Life is...
Full of dark spaces filled with stars(!)"

MUCH applause for this 'penning' !!

~ Yeppers! You said it well, my dear Ida Belle!

I especially liked the closing stanza!

Ida,  I am so glad you left spaces between the lines,  so much to fill in as we go through life.

Very nice,
Love, Tracey.

Well, my life is full of guessing games. Never know what will happen from one day to another.
