This life

*****************

Full of hope and tragedy

a slapstick, steady comedy.

Just illusion raggedly

twisting lives aggrievedly.

 

Once a heartbroke, well spun farce,

collective with reason sparse.

Then constructed, chaos passed,

yet again brought to impasse.

 

From this well emotion springs

while to the sides convention clings,

holding back from tender things,

as 'spirit' soars on soft, white wings

 

Reality then takes a bite,

and grips us firm with all it's might.

It makes us feel somewhat contrite

for overstepping bounds polite

 

We slowly return to our mark

Our conscience pricked, bite worse than bark.

It gives us pause lest we remark,

"We're strolling gaily through the dark"

 

For such a phrase just will not do!

It shows emotions shining through,

and brings our feelings into view.

It's causing hope to bloom anew!

 

But strain and struggle as we may,

life drags us down, our hopes dismayed.

And so I must leave this soiree

to trudge through yet another day.

Moved and paced exceptionally well. Begins with an objective observation of life and ends bringing it all back down to the individual.

 

Excellent - I enjoyed this one immensely!
