Everybody Knows

Everybody Knows

Everybody knows…

that pain keeps lurking
for a place to reside in every soul,
and the moon is an arid land
of rocks and illusion.
Everybody knows…
that happiness is fleeting,
as darkness and light
are, by fate, entwined.

But when the moon glides
over the ocean’s tide
as the heart rejoices 
feeling the peace
and seeing the splendour,
the pain subsides. For a moment.
And to that moment-- we surrender.

Everybody wants…
to see the light.

--Bernadete vdw, ‘25

Hello B...

Your Soul doesn't have a Reject button?

It gets into the belly huh?

I'm sorry...

Is that's why people often live in the past with the hurts as a constant reminder?

Is that why people say Life Is A Drag?

Forward hesitation?

That's very helpful information...

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

Hello Ice Queen, I think some people live in the dark, not because they like it,
but because the pain is too much to bear. Everybody wants to see the light.
Thank you for reading and sending me your thoughts, lovely bird.

I like the recurring theme that happiness is fleeting. I'm pretty interested in that sort of thing. Although I must say, I don't ever remember chasing it. I wasn't brought up that way. Well written poem B
