The Curtain Falls Part 1

It just could be the
Most pure thing of all,
Unsettled in the sky 
It waits yet to fall.
The essence of life,
An angle of death,
An infant screaming 
Takes its first breath.
Merged and falls down
Together as if to say,
“Not everything depends on 
How much you work, but play.
And love, and praise for 
All those good days,
Living life to its fullest
In all its possible ways.”
Patiently hoping and 
Waiting I shall stand,
With one single open
Outstretched hand.
