IS THERE NO HAPPINESS LEFT IN THE WORLD?
Is there no Happiness left in the world?
Is the only sound left for us words of complaint?

NOTHING SADDENS LIKE DEATH
Nothing saddens like Death
A loss forever lost
...
WHY DON’T THE STARS
Why don’t the stars
In all their enormous energy
...
THE SADNESS OF UNCERTAINTY
The sadness of uncertainty
Troubles tomorrow-
...
THERE ARE POEMS THAT DO NOT MEAN ANYTHING TO ANYONE
There are poems that do not mean anything to anyone
There are people like that too

IN MY OLD AGE I AM LEARNING HUMILITY
In my old age I am learning Humility
...
There are too many lost moments in our lives-
All that we are now
Cannot again be
What we have lived-
...
Some present experience gives me a hint of-
I long to know and see and feel
What I knew and felt then-
But before I can even perceive it
...
But I did not know how
The road had been long
I had tried much
But being old is not an answer
...
Only the stars can say
And as they are silent
Who you are
Is silent too-
