"A child opens eyes in this mystic world, Why tears at the dawn? Isn't he joyful to arrive here,in this life to be born? He grows young and pure,unaware of life's design, Happy amidst family and friends,in love's warm divine. He matures, entangled in threats of deceit,passion,sorrow,delight... A ladybrinth of emotions,through which he must take a flight, He ages,now forsaken by those he loved and served with heart, Alone,he befolds life's truth,a wisdom few dared to impart. He retreats,grief concealed,with none to share his plight, Saved by one silent companion - 'death',in endless night. He smiles at it's arrival,yet poses a lingering quest:- Was he truly happy to depart this world's contested rest?" -ks
