The Portrait of a man

User Rating:

-- /10
(0 votes)



  The morning sun rose
and a new day was born
born with its hopes and dreams
the platform of opprtunities
a drawing board of hopefully
better things to come
the basis of a great future
the winds blews in their wonders
and the waves their mysteries
the stars twinkled and lighted the paths of grace and tears
so much so that the sky stood still in awe
and the moon shone as the birds sangs
a stump of tree adds to the fall
and the scalding afternoon sun rose to simmer
though finding coolness in the suddenly pouring rain
drowning posed another threat
out of the river into a clearly
breathtaking garden of pleasure
love oh so well designed
a smile of peace and contentment
a sigh of regret, more adventure?
perhaps another chance
but if tomorrow never comes, he says
i pray i have lived today, better than the rest

Namie Elisha
