Why are we made
to suffer and cry
when so much beauty
surrounds us- to die
when we’re in
the spring of life
when all the flowers
are dancing by our side?
Our love is still so nascent
waiting to bloom- to deny?
We are yet to share the best
ere the dusk hours draw nigh-
to music I turn
for consolation - there I fly
where tears don’t appear
and pain and suffering never pass by.
