Sorrow

It surges like waves in one's mind Meditating over it brings more pain But without it there is no gain Life is a sea of sorrows At every step it looms Doomed to be its prey Blinded,human beings do not find their way A turmoil it brings Every moment like a bell it rings Destiny leads us to its arms We are all intoxicated by its charms Sharing it may sometimes alleviate its intensity To get rid of it means losing one's identity Let me fill my cup with this wine Sometimes hollow, sometimes divine It is here to keep making the heart pine Oh sorrow what is your philosophy? Tell me, tell me Are you a friend or an enemy?

Good writing, Shah, although sad. Yes, I believe that sorrow is a part of living here on this plane. Our circumstance will not change until we return to where we came from...our God. Welcome to Soup, Shah. Annalise
