Lively Ironies

================
AN INSPIRATION FROM VISH 
_____________________________________________

Our life is a long nightmare 
Leaping to and fro, a hunted hare 

She births darkness admist the day 
And sweeps the smile that lights our way

She meets mankind in joyful feasting 
And leaves his life in sorrow fasting 

She sounds the gong, a birth announcing 
And chants the dirge, a life departing 

She sews our hearts in one affection 
And let them loose in separation 

She feeds our soul from flowing fountains 
And breaks our heart on rocky Mountains 

Our life is a long nightmare
A golden opportunity to live right here

Lines 3 and the last, are wonderful summary points. Well-crafted poem, revealing much talent in Eduardo. Either we can live "right here" or I trust Jesus & the Bible to overcome any "nightmare." It is not everyone's cup of tea. You provide a nice secular choice. Shalom, shalom (Paz!) Anil Deo
