Written on Jun 19, 2015

Indeed from stream and strike of loving heart 
I gave myself to life and it to me.
It pains not me to mourn when i depart,
Upon the hour my life will cease to be.
For I am she who sailed on seven sins
And learnt and laughed with friend and foe anew.
I am the one who re-tuned painful dins
When destiny's drums beat my path a strew. 
'O dearest life,' said she who smiled with pride,
'You are my best accomplice, yet my woe;
You taunt us with deceiving easy ride-
O cunning charmer, all our fears you know.
Yet such magnificence you do behold
When human hearts are sanctioned to unfold.'
