Truth and Lies


Life

Easygoing. Nurturing. Energetic

the Tinkling of a Laugh

Music to my Ears

 

like the Leaves of a tall Pine

                      we are green

                                Full of

                                                                                                   Beauty.

                        Amusement.

 

Yet is it a Beautiful LIE.

Like the Leaves                     We, too, will

                                                                    Fall.

                                                                                              One Day.

                 Our bodies Leave

But our Soul Remains.

 

In this Dark Abyss

Calm. Free. Quiet.

Afraid of Death.

                                                                                       People  will     Always          Run

 

                                           from the Ugly TRUTH.
