Look Out

To seek and never find,life -the tragedy of living; To see and never find,love -the tragedy of being; To seek and never find,faith -the tragedy of after-life; To live and never find,art- to live life without seeing; To live life sans poetry, with one-dimensional sight, without imagination- life exists in black and white. Believe,emote and desire too soon,this life expires.

For some, a whole life spent, perhaps, without the joy of what a blessing we have been given. To make the most of each day that has been this gift to us. Lovely Kyrielle
