Life

'Twas a night of wonders

when the silver moon stood high

its paleness

reflected,

 a mirror

into the sea.

While the waves rippled,

 the trees sang,

magnificent and grand.

Your mind filled with music

amidst and above it all

a tune

                     a song

                                           a melody

chosen to worship

feelings of bliss.  Joy

in such a paradise

A single  drop of rain falls.

Head tilted

you felt it pour.

Furious waves come,

mournful waves go.

A spark hits the sky.

The thunder awakes,

no more light 

Disoriented, you run north

south

east

west

ending at the same place as before.

When morning finally comes,

 light is shown once more

it seems like you're in hell

nothing like before.

A hushed silence

quiets your song.

Destruction, ruins lay beneath your feet

nevertheless

that lucent ray of light

cascading from the sun,

is proof

that all would be renewed.

It's hope that all would be all right
