Life Begins When One Ends
written by: Lei Writses
Life begins,
dense it ends,
when thou be
blissfully
living through
glee and blue,
be they throw
travesty.
Starts with peace,
and calmness,
nestling down
inwardly;
then courage,
to embráce change
in ill venged
melody.
Life sets you
on fire, too,
so you be
confident
when judgements
pile in tenths,
renting hints:
discernment.
It starts at
an age that
namore ye count
thunderstorms,
nor the days
and birthdays
stormed sundays
wheresofrom.
When all things
are kept, bring’st
thee—some, be
remembered,
though a few;
others, new;
most be so
deserted.
Where there is
stressed up mess,
send thou drown
memories:
some of glad,
some of sad,
broken hard
promises.
Though ye eat,
heart may beat,
split or sit,
untroubled,
ye barely
smile for glee,
bold but free
everfooled.
Though ye smile,
’tis with style,
miles to cross
actively,
thou cans’t fake
thine own take,
yet can’t speak
blastingly.
For life ends
when till then
plain thee breathe,
heavily,
d’spite the air,
songs ye hear
‘tween thine ears
eeriely.
And the choice,
within your voice,
lies in th’ hands;
existence
shall we call
th’ answers toll
hears’d them all
hopelessness.
