Events of grief and sorrow had multiplied severally in the last few months. While thinking, this poem came to me.
Enjoy!
==============================================================================
Even as life races on amidst condolences
Tragedies will not swallow our laughter;
Will not interrupt our songs.
We shall roll out
Drums in a dance
We shall gather maidens in gyration
To celebrate a passage -
A masquarade pummelled in mid-tempo
We shall hide our sorrows
We shall conceal our bleeding hearts
We shall not our sorrow
clutch like an egg
We raise our glasses in a toast
Though our sun fades
Our moon ebbs
We shall not grieve this loss;
Sorrow triumphs at night
Joy smiles at day time
For eternal laughter awaits us.
This is beautiful Emeka, I find hope in these words after loosing some friends I loved dearly, but how could I wish them back to a world gone mad?
