There's an ache in my muscles

a culmination of strain

emotions obtained

from complexities

obscure.

When really, I know

the simplicity

that glows

at the centre of self.

Let it all slip away

and harmony

be made.

For life is too short

to bear the pain

of really a vain

and ridiculous

fare.

Restricting caution

and care.

Should turn all the frowns

and the downs

upwards,

beyond.

For ultimately

it's just a dance

and we're GONE!

We really don't have long...
