Goodbye Happiness
Another sunset;
As the light is consumed by invading darkness my thoughts silence and the solemn candle
flame is lit;
Aspirations, Inspirations, Determination, Fortification, all eluding without a natural fit;
Warm becomes the sought embrace of well deserved acceptance;
Yet, cold envelops the vengeful karmic bittersweet fruit of penance;
Dashing away at all the "What If's" and with them the resistant heart of the hope that
breeds independence;
So long, to a future of "possibility" and "probability";
Restful are those with new found comprehension of true inevitability;
As powerful as idealism of Utopian peace is, fools disbelieve that torn in two are its
seemingly tranquil grounds;
Since in this absence of faith which has broken the fragile shell of peaceful life, and
filled it with a quiet darkness;
With no longer a love for the ever-glorious moonlit night, my mind bid farewell to woeful
plight, And from my lips "Goodbye To Happiness".
