Into The Light Of Fate

A tormented man once said one day
As mortality stands
As I hold my hand to a dying flame
As life will never be the same
And as fate rains in upon my door
And as I feign importance and ask for more

He said stop must I
Viewing success by failure
And waiting for my mental saviour
And realise did he
That life was at hand
And took a while to acknowledge the sand

The sun, the moon, the Autumn rain
The loved ones I hide from yet feel their pain
To stop idolising ones delusional dreams
Of freedom and light and all that seems
To be remote and opposite to my situation
And take a while to find recognition
In the idea that my sight, speech, hearing and taste
Feelings, friends, Summer, Spring, Winter and fate
Are the things that I so foolishly hate
And are the things always cried for all too late

So this imbecile, oh lucky did he
Began living his life so passionately
And loved the now, present and been and gone
And looked to the future whilst whistling a song
And said give me oh give me what you desire of me
As I’m no longer a slave to desires I’m free.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Sperari, this is pwerful, dearest friend, this indeed is no lecture to me but rather your heart shining with wisdom beyond your years, and I claim to believe to desires can be deadly and we must seek nirvana while appreciating the simple beauties of life and nature! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, consider this "checked", we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sperari, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I like the way that you tried to have an inter-action with me personally. I am so glad you are here, and hope you will stay, as I look forward to more of your poetry.
