Novice seeking wisdoms in gulps
"Truly master
   what is the meaning of life"
words a thousand students more
  wizened eyes paused annoyance teetering towards
    but at least in part amusement lighted to fall

Life
  an Anvil be
Life
  a smithy's hammer striking
     wait Forgive this aged one's doddering words
You asked not of birth or death, but all that resides in the middle- Life
Life be Anvil not
  nor Sparking hammer
tis that unforged unsparingly
      pounded breathing alloy generally
        struggling for a word
         verily quite in the middle

A taste of which you will find yourself experiencing quite momentarily if I find a bit more
remnants of breakfast dish yet unwashed or ignored

A twinkling eye remembered how once those wizened
eyes had asked the same only to find the answer was a meticulously clean floor scrubbed unsparingly with the equivalent of toothbrush and unsoaped water

The meaning of life IS

"High on the Mountain, where the Sun stil Shines, and the water runs a little lazy."

I see you too were inspired by Jaime's questioning write.
An interesting piece you have here, EH. Yes, the meaning of life is a ponderful Q for all.

EH,
  How did I miss this?  I enjoyed it and thought I'd send it up for others to ponder.
Such a creative mind!
