Life and its Strange Journey
Life and its Strange Journey
Life is a river, moving assented,
Pausing nowhere, detached, in motion
Wandering in the strange courses,
In Sun, in darkness, unlamented
Ultimately over its own existence!
Why should one search for love
In effigy of dust and clay?
Why should one look above?
Full Moon illumines only a day!
