Tea With The Mad Hatters

Could I be?

No, not I.

A rock on top of a current's

sway.

A rock's heart is too stiff to pray,

Life loves, but love leaves me in the day.

It moves with the current's

sway.



Could I be?

An ember from a fire's

glow?

In day's, suns rise to sink so low.

Onward life goes, but from death cannot grow.

Inside my beating heart,

Is an ember from a fire's

glow.



-Lillian Hagenah



This poem can relate to most grievances in life, I wrote it after someone close to me had died. The last three lines bascially mean that you feel as though life cannot go on.


Through journalism, I have learned how to ask many questions, but I have also learned the two most important questions you must ask yourself: why?; to know who you are and why not?; to know there is not limit to who you are.

I keep asking myself why not and life just happens; remember there is always life after death, literally.
