Life and death
Love and hate
Pleasure and
sorrow
It flourishes
and diminishes
The mirror
it shows
Of others
and self
Like a river
that flows
And flows,
and flows!
We await and
wait
We love and
wait
We fear and
wait
We want and
wait
We rush and
wait
Wait for
that moment
That never
comes
Or comes and
goes
Noticed,
unnoticed, and we wait!
We dwell,
out of sync
Random thoughts,
tricked
We enter, we
leave
We fix, we
snooze
We choose,
we loose
A constant
thrive, a booze
We pay and
posses
Carves for
more and more, poor soul
Infinite layer
of empty closets
Still empty,
we wonder
We wonder
and look around
For something
else
For something
new!
We miss, we
act
We watch, we
react
Hero and
coward
We struggle,
we fight
To find what
is wrong
What is
right
Things we
see, eyes
Open, closed
What we
hear, ears
Listening or
deaf
We sense, we
feel
We wound, we
heal
We crumble,
we rise
We show, we
hide
We relate
and relieve
We trust and
deceive
We search,
we find
Life plays
and rewind
Colors float
on canvas
But it
remains white
Memories has
no color
And we live,
we die!
