The Eternal Miracle Of A Poet Poem by Shirley Harrison

Isn't it just so poetic

that we live and then we die?

we strive for happiness

and a reason why?

yet when times are joyful

in one single moment

they can turn dark

and then from out of nowhere

the darkness turns into light

from just a single spark

isn't it ironic that music is unseen?

and our hearing notes on deaf ears

our emotions gifting tears

and thus the beauty of the seasons

as we look out of the window fair

to see the blurs of the great oak tree

that leave nothing but branches bare

walking up the path so frail

wondering where our lives have gone?

wandering where all the poet's lines end up?

and if we'll leave our poetic songs?
