ON
LOVE
Was
love then
Only
an illusion
Or
was it not?
A
fire that raged while it lasted
Extinguished
by Time,
But
those glowing embers
Oh!
They still burned
Through
those dark, desolate nights
Of a
winter long gone.
SONG
OF LIFE
Time
ceased to matter
Neither
spring nor summer
Brought
hope of sunnier days ahead,
Neither
winter nor autumn
The
comfort and warmth
Of
those old family reunions
Around
the hearth,
She mourned
silently
Those
whom she had loved and lost
Each
to his/her own fate and Time,
As
from her window
She
watched the mighty river flow
Broad
and strong
Singing
its eternal song of life
Through
the seasons,
And
inspired
She
plunged headlong
Into
the stormy river of life
Joyously
singing
Her
song of life's endlessly tortuous journey
Towards
Eternity.
