Linela's Poetry Book

*An entry from when she was very young and still under the care of a physician for an unknown blood disorder*
All of life's pains and pleasures come together and there is no reason why.
My brothers gathered seconds ago under this grand, four posted canopy,
animating paper dragons who, in a breath, crystalized with our joy,
and they hang in the air like a promise.
Hope is the mistery we cling to, believing balance favors good.
In this bitter moment I search for the meaning and some greater purpose,
but the rude interruption of sharp pain binds me, sinking in and holding,
and my paper dragons just stare.
It is natural to seek a purpose for each cold, wretched span of time.
To try to explain away why some seem chosen to soak in loneliness,
and to justify all that lacks in our fleeting chaotic existence.
But it just is, it always was.
The truth is life is wonderful and warm. Life is cold and unrelenting.
It offers no promise and no apology. We are here to live it.
So I am sat bleeding for their curiosity; A puzzle unsolved,
but the answers never come.
Because life's pains and pleasures come together and there is no reason why.
All of life's pains and pleasures come together and there is no reason why.
