Life

why the sun rules the day, why the moon` s comrade of the night, why the stars hurl down their spears, why the Nightingale talks the night away, i know for certain. But why a man dies, and another cries, and despair opens the gate of misery on us, as if life` s journey were a shadows` bliss, i understand not. i understand not why, to every up there`s a down, to every hope there`s a doom, to every light there`s a sorrow. i understand not! life! life! life! Same old of time. How many more seasons? How many more times?
