This is one of my favorite poems. It took me a long time to think up the imagery for each couplet, but I am quite pleased with the symbolism and meaning of it. I hope you enjoy reading and rereading this thoughtful commentary on life.
Mirage Of Life
Frolicking
in the valley
Of
innocence
Wandering
through the meadow
Of
confusion
Skipping
on the path
Of
fun
Slowly
entering the gulf
Of
despair
Climbing
over the wall
Of
regret
Pondering
at the pool
Of
decisions
Pausing
in the orchard
Of
adolescence
Sliding
into the pit
Of
negative thoughts
Gazing
across the sea
Of
magic
Fighting
against the rosebush
Of
love
Lost
in the maze
Of
jealousy
Succumbing
to the river
Of
emotions
Breathing
in the aroma
Of
maturity
Marching
over the bridge
Of
sacrifice
Conquering
the mirage
Of
life
