Bliss

my soul is lost in a world of thorns and the fabric of my being mourns the complexities of life weigh heavy on my shoulders as experience and wisdom come down like crashing boulders oh how i mourn the days of ignorance when life was such a bliss i never knew that "NOT"knowing something was something i would miss i never knew that life back then was such a wonderful endeavor as i often wish that life in bliss would always last forever it seems as though i was better off with innocent thoughts instead i rather walk in innocence than walk among the dead i feel like dead men walking as my soul reaches into darkness i see the shimmer from the reapers sickle reflecting from it's sharpness a doorway of emptiness fills my soul full of guilt and fear and when life becomes full of wisdom death becomes so clear

Yes the ignorance of youth did reward with bliss that is not available as we age. Hope being a big winner compensates. Love, Joyce
