Legacy
Alone have you come here
Alone shall you go
Can you just leave behind
Your fragile ego?
Can't you let go your
Envy and pride
Moments of Shame and hatred,
Moments you cried
Is it too hard
to tame bursts of anger
Feelings of sorrow and pain
that quietly grow stronger.
The melancholic days
feel just like quicksand
The more you ignore it,
the more you withstand.
If they are to be disowned,
Why did you gather these?
Let them blow past you
Like the cool winter breeze.
Dance to the waves of joy,
And sing a happy tune.
A wreath of happiness,
with pleasure shall be sewn.
Sow the seeds of love
of delight and of ecstasy
Your deeds of benevolence
shall be 'membered as your legacy.
