Living life, surviving death
It seems downcast,
a day filled with dark clouds..
Is it possible?
in this place of desert?
where rain is rarely seen?
I look out
The sky is clear
The sun shines bright
Another hot and sunny day
just like any other.
Life goes on,
The sun rises and it sets
Waves roll in, waves roll out
Tides come and tides go.
It is my heart
that is heavy,
My soul
that is saddened,
Death is never easy -
The only thing that is inevitable,
The only thing that is constant,
in this world of constant change
My religion teaches me of detachments
Do not place any emotional attachment
on any thing, any place, any person.
But I have feelings, I have emotions,
I have a heart.
To have no attachments
is asking me not to breathe.
My tears will come,
and my heart will ache.
But in time I will heal
and continue to love, to feel
Until the next heartache comes,
until my love is wrenched from me again.
And it goes on and on and on...
