POEM OF LIFE
by M
Born into innocence
Gasping for breath, I was struggling for life
The mischief creator perhaps mystic
Playing roulette as he dances
The numbers are spinning on and on
Knowing the gravity is forever pulling and pulling
Like the apple falling, all will come to a stop
The chosen ones are given the epileptic trauma of life
This divine test will enrich the soul
The suffocating violence will end in a moment of tranquility
Only the amorous heart and death can ease the pain
Walking past all that is familiar
My destination is slowly approaching
The wildflowers adorn the path
As I am on my journey of no return
The sun is setting
Today it will be all for me
All change has come to a stop
The moment stands still
The stench will soon sweeten
There, the wild flower has purpose, after all
There, I will await you
I will wait for eternity if necessary
But then eternity is only a moment in time
Time is like a game of roulette
I am spinning on and on
Knowing the gravity is forever pulling and pulling
Until it wrestles no more.
