Blossoming

I chose to leave my self built sanctuary
For the Goddess of Life's temptations
I knew that life out rhymed with misery
Yet, I chose to follow my heart's ambitions!

Pray, Life I saw, was made of constant change
So much that one day becomes a night 
Why, humans are subject to whims of age
Existence has a most sorrowful plight!

I turned around and did see my shelter
But I could help not, my heart was adamant
It would beat on, even amidst disaster
Why, of life, it has become expectant!

Pray, if the world is truly as it is
I hope my heart will meet not with disease!
