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
