“One writes a poem
when one is so taken up
by an emotional concept
that one is unable
to remain silent.”

Haiku :
Does potential count
Could we be better people
The prospects waning
.
Emotions all quenched by fear
To placate mother, others
.
Time to make a stand
Feel the spirit arising
Satisfied with me
.
ELFJE :
Life
Goes on
To what end
In spite of me
Live
.
POEM :
Trying to balance the life
Between the responsible and the silly
Attempting to avoid the strife
Do we need to grow up really
Does our life need a philosophy
Can’t we just wing it day by day
Why do they demand us to live consciously
I would rather we just go out and play
Does life have a meaning
Should we just sit around and ponder
Ignoring what we are feeling
Is time ours to squander
The soul is so mysterious
The Uni-verse is made of love
So let us all not be so serious
Just agree to meet later in the above
ME and the Boss

Lovely renga, Elfje and poem. Life tends to like to throw us curve balls just when we think will do well when it is our time up to bat.
Hang in there. 🙂
