A Poem for Nothing
A Poem for Nothing:
Old poets die alone;
In deserted hospital corridors;
Some continue to surpass expectations,
And while death is probably inevitable,
It can take years to die;
Much longer than to talk about it
All the time.
If it has been foretold,
Heaven really meant what it said
If happiness would come sooner or later,
Sweet or bitter
Will be attained.
Oh, old poets!
Your bodies decay
In the bosom of the earth
To regret the hopes
That were shattered in the times
You lived!
.
Loneliness should be taken as a unity of the soul, the mind and the body altogether. If one can set up such a unity, one is never alone.
