YET STILL
Prosperina Sarkar
In the drama of life’s tale,
Layer by layer, complexities prevail,
Many struggles, failures set the scene,
Yet still, the fragrance of leaves and flowers green,
Send me your wishes, serene.
Life is a conflict of joy and peace,
Wandering in realms of dreams, a release,
Busy like machines in endless haste,
Yet still, in fleeting leisure, with grace,
Adorn me with your mind’s embrace.
Life is a relentless fight,
Moving forward with unstoppable might,
Weary body and soul, worn and thin,
Yet still, in feelings that delight, within,
Keep me in your heart, akin.
Life accumulates sorrow and pain,
Daily battles, victories to gain,
For the relative joy of a bird in flight,
Yet still, in your heart's quiet sight,
Dream of love with me at night.
