Keola - Rhyme
Carl Sandburg
Precious, this life is, so swift and so fleeting,
wrapped in enigma, like an onion you peel.
It offers itself to the one who is willing
to weather the layers, at a time unrevealed.
And sometimes your laughing is turned into weeping,
but then, midst the darkness, joy noisily squeals.
