Antithesis

Sometimes it so happens

that life seems abundant

with pleasures and joy

and the heart yearns for 

less and less

We want something

that is not

and not something 

that is..

Like

an old man wanting to be young, 

young lad, wanting to be a child

a child wanting to grow old

and the antithesis of life shall bring us

to the crossroads....

where we could chose to be

what we are

yet we will desire

for what is not...

And towards the end, 

when leaves of Hope fall

A genesis shall rekindle

new hope and new love

Until then, we shall experience

restlessness in search of that peace...

A perfect antithesis!
