A Poem

Happiness fills me with a touch of sadness
By that I know it means it can't last
Beauty decays, laughter subsides
When will the stones be cast?

Tragedy can be measured
by the amount of happiness that has been taken away
Elusion is our only protection
As we fall victim to its prey

So when I've reached a fork in life's road
and the choices are many or few
I follow the one that leads away from misfortune
That's all I can really do

When life is good
You have to hold it in your hand
You have to close your eyes
You have to breathe it in

Happiness may end
While tragedy begins
Today is the beginning
Is tomorrow the end?
