Life Is Tragic
"Life is tragic so listen with thirst for the music of happiness."
Quote _by Poet
Life is a journey full of moments - of struggle,
for a poet the gathering of emotions;
the penning of poems that one day will crumble,
of words that crash together like waves in oceans.
And my journey has been the road of a writer,
I have written of the scars on my soul and heart;
I have penned of nature and the birds that flutter,
and I suppose I will till the day I depart.
And when the day comes that is to be my last one,
I would pen- even if just in my fading mind;
a tale, the story of how it had all begun,
I would leave all my delight and sorrow entwined.
My last poem- the last would be heartbreak and bliss,
hold a song full of birds singing a cappella;
I would walk a Zen garden into an abyss,
and stroll in the falling rain with no umbrella.
Life is a journey full of moments - of struggle,
and my journey has been the road of a writer;
and when the day comes that is to be my last one,
my last poem- the last would be heartbreak and bliss.
