Oh how wild my expectations were!
How fascinating my plans were
Carefully designed our ways are
Pleasantly celebrated if applauded
...
It was the tomorrow you waited for
Anticipating, futuristic you longed for it
Like a Deer for flowing waters
Tomorrow is today
...
Wait, wait they call out to you
Holding them in dismay you move on
Tic tac, tic tac you go on
Never tired nor weary
...
No one willing intends it
It comes naturally, perhaps gradually
Like a boat drifted from the shore
Some though willingly
...
An emotional phenomenon
From the days of birth pangs
Like the waters in a coconut
It is wound up within
...
Blind, motionless and never tired you stand
A look through your eyes shows how pleasant you could get
From the rising horizon to the setting sun you beauty remains fast
...
Crestfallen
Oh how wild my expectations were!
How fascinating my plans were
Carefully designed our ways are
Pleasantly celebrated if applauded
Just repeated to accentuate it's importance
But then pow! like the sound from an arsenal
Down to earth it all falls. To the deepest abyss
More like an oblivion
The ambition, the hope, the desire
The heuristics seems to puzzle
yes that's the way it goes
When i think of it, when i look at it
A word readily comes to mind
__________CRESTFALLEN
It's the word we all must face
Sooner or later
Once though or twice
But then we chose crest with smiles
Cowardice is not just fear, it is your inability to take the second chance life has given you.
Umana is a good poet and should be listened to
