Life Poetry

I would not exchange the sorrows of my hearts for the joys of the multitude and i would not have the tears that sadness makes to flow from my every part turn into laughter I would let my life remain a tear and a smile a tear to purify my heart and give me understanding of life’s secrets and hidden things a smile to draw me nigh to the sons of my kind and to be a symbol of my glorification of the gods a tear to unite me with those of broken heart a smile to be a sign of my joy in existence I would rather that I died in yearning and longing than that I live weary and despairing i want the hunger for love and beauty to be in the depths of my spirit for I have seen those who are satisfied the most wretched of people I have heard the sigh of those in yearning and longing and it is sweeter than the sweetest melody with evenings coming the flower folds her petals and sleeps embracing her longing at morning’s approach she opens her lips to meet the son’s kiss the life of a flower is longing and fulfilment a tear and a smile the waters of the sea become vapour and rise and come together and area cloud and the cloud floats above the hills and valleys until it meets the gentle breeze then falls weeping to the fields and joins with brooks and rivers to return to the sea it’s home the life of clouds is a parting and a meeting a tear and a smile and so does the spirit become separated from the greater spirit to move in the world of matter and pass as a cloud over the mountain of sorrow and the plains of joy to meet the breeze of death and return once it came to the ocean of love and beauty to god you.
