Fading Bliss

I'd a walk a miles in life
                            I'd seen the countless strife
                              I'd felt the poignant pains
                              As I traverses life's main.


                             Rivers of tears runneth by
                              In silent brook of lullabies
                                I'd tried to call the sky
                             That in paradise I may lie.


                        Twas long ago since world subside
                              In the curling hues of life
                     And in the canvass of every moment.
                    Stroking brushes and fearful pigments.


                   Beyond the tall linden trees
                And behind the lovely daffodils
                 Was the pain that never cease
              Perhaps, yes, perhaps it was sealed.


                    It was enough to tread the path
                   And to butterflies to said goodbye
                  For in every tremendous aftermath
                        They do never cry.


                             I'd tried the wagon to hitch the sky
                               But in the midst of nothingness 
                             I found my self in foolishness lied
                                   And engulf in emptiness.
