this is not the end of life <br />it is in fact a sequel to the life we led yesterday <br />it is these heartbreaks that lecture us <br />how to love, how to live and who to consort <br />ourselves with <br />it is the same helplessness we share <br />the defines our weakness <br />and the quick learning of letting go <br />that defines our strength <br /> <br />we can cry ourselves to madness <br />but the deed would still be done <br />and there wouldn't be much we can do <br />to undo it <br />except accepting the fact that fate <br />is indeed a done deal<br /><br />Stella Sisanda Qishi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mortality-9/
