Life in a Nutshell
MY EYES THEY OPEN,BEHOLDING LIGHT
YET STILL EMBRACING SHADOW.
I ACCEPT WHAT ONCE WAS KEPT FROM SIGHT
SADDENED WHILE IN HAPPINESS, MUCH LIKE THE WEEPING WILLOW.
SLOW I STEP ACROSS THE EARTH
AS TEARS OF JOY STREAM DOWN MY FACE
AND KNOW I'LL BE CAST BACK TO HEARTH
WITHIN THE DARKNESS' FIREPLACE.
I SOON SET FREE A BOUNDING SMILE
FROM THE TORMENT WHICH HOLDS TRUE.
MY WORLD OF DARKNESS HATH GONE BRIGHT
AND I AM READY TO START ANEW.
THROUGH THE YEARS MY AGES LEAVE
AND I REVERENTLY LIVE THEM.
MY HEART,IT GIVES ONE LAST DRY HEAVE
MY EYES THEY STIR AND THEN I CLOSE THEM.
tHOSE WHO READ THIS,DON'T BE TORN
AND LIVE AS THOUGH I'M LYING,
FOR "FROM THE MOMENT WE ARE BORN,SI THE MOMENT WE START DIEING."
LIVE YOUR LIFE, SPARE NOT A MOMENT
BUT SEEK IT AND HOLD TO.
DONT PASS A CHANCE TO CONFESS A LOVE
FOR THE COLOR BLACK IS NOT DEEP BLUE.
ENOUGH IN LIFE IS NEVER ENOUGH
IT WONT BE SPARED OR CHANGED, NOR WAIT FOR YOU.
