This morning I was entranced by a sun <br />pouring golden liquid all over the world <br />anointing a sun paradise and my heart <br />was wild for joy and ecstasy about the <br />beauty around me, an enchanting sight- <br />but then you pulled your lance on me: <br /> <br />Derelict in my duties, sacked today, <br />did everything wrong and guess what - <br />the sun actually disappeared behind <br />a bank of clouds and the pain that <br />went through my heart also claimed <br />my mind and my thoughts… <br /> <br />Now I must write a list of duties <br />all neglected and describe how <br />I shall go about rectifying mistakes <br />correcting errors of omission, while <br />also doing corrections at work, compiling <br />a production sheet, as well as drafting <br />work-on-hand - and guess what – <br /> <br />I don’t care, I love you all, but I cannot <br />serve you well, my hands will not toil <br />my feet will not stay on the earth <br />I shall always float on the clouds and <br />the songs in my heart will lift me above <br />the grey of tasks mundane and if that <br />means one day you shall not miss me <br /> <br />That is fine, I have only one life and I <br />shall spend it as I want, in dreams of <br />beauty and love unconditional, even <br />for one such as me!<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-have-only-one-life/
