My Life, My Pendulum [String Tanka]

Life is just a swing
you drive as a pendulum
It swings you two ways
not away from its edges
reaching your past and future

As far as you dream
to be successful in life
the wiser you swing,
rather than a complete turn,
the faster you reach targets

Live your dream in life
Even if it's difficult
it's still better than
to live life without a dream;
then how difficult is life!

The life pendulum,
clicks, resembling heartbeats
It either slows down
or accelerates beating
according to condition

If God would gift me
another new chance of life
I wouldn't have said
what I've thought but rather
thought of before saying it
