When suddenly one day you find The reality of life scorching you Aghast and confused, you wonder Why me, if this be a game of chance? How can mere existence ever be so trying? The silence of death grips your heart But in your mind resound the echoes With the bygone, so impossible to forget And what is to be so hard to predict Try as you would there is no escape from self So lost are you there is no path to tread. Goes one sunset, comes another sunrise With the herald of unforeseen blessings And later when flood back the memories But without the soul-searing pain You cannot help but marvel at the incredible healer Time, as it stealthily passes by All at once the awareness strikes you The nightmare is finally over But how it came to be you are never to know.
