Journey of Life

Like a bud on a bough
             Wakes up with the kiss of breeze
    Blows like a rose attracting bees and butterflies
   With enchanting beauty under the canopy of skies

      Entices, charms, dances, smiles and laughs
          Allures, attracts, loves, sings and sighs
          Conquers, demolishes, builds and wins
          Climbs on the peak of glory and spirits

  The cruel claws of autumn lay in ambush to maul it
        It droops, fades and withers like a flower
           Ravaged by the hot winds of change
       Ends up in the abyss and dust of non-entity

      Abandoned by love and betrayed by friends
         It languishes, grieves, broods and cries
           With the inner flame of self it fries
Imprisoned in a tattered body it suffers in agony and perishes.

               Sintra, Portugal. Dec. 10, 2014
