A Life in delight and a love in grief;
Both are like two sides of a green leaf;
A red ocean of your deepest sorrow;
Will fall back and dry up tomorrow;
Lurking within the light and shadow;
towards a dew drop on a green meadow ;
True happiness will come on your way;
when you finally decide to stop and pray
for a while; when people take sinful turns;
No one knows, but the human mind burns!

Poetry dates all the way back to the beginnings of Humanity. People have always been questioning nature, and the day-to-day existence of themselves and other humans love, death, survival, war, injustice, and the universe are all examples of things that have been questioned by men and woman since the roots of human existence. Whether in nursery rhyme, ballad, jingle, rhyme, anthem, or music, people have found poetry to be an outlet for expressing these questions, sensations, and experiences
People often associate it with strict rhyming patterns, complicated vocabulary, hidden iconic meanings, and difficult rhythmical conventions. Poetry is even taught in school to be an intricate, complicated, inexplicable puzzle. True, poetry is difficult. Sure, it can be harder to understand
than prose. However, that is only because sometimes it is involved with your inescapable complexities and uncertainties of your existence.
This lyric is from MICROTHEMES, a collection of short poems, written by WILLIAMSJI MAVELI.
