Enigma Called Life

THAT no word shall suffice
for the blood clot within
my throat!

That no sigh is deep enough
to bring me back to life
today!

The inventory i have taken
of my own life,
reveals i am short!

That i need that ocean
to teach me 

That deepest pain to
show me

That life is both pain 
and love

That life is gain
and lost

That we are all the same:

    drowning in smiles
of a cauldron unknown!
