Life's Lore

Life's Lore

Expound exploration of entwined excursion;

Excursion of which thee a mere traveller!

Traveller doth confronts his persona in the play;

Play portraying peripeteia and its endeavour.

Embarked on vagary voyage to destiny

Destiny harbingers a farrago of sunshine and rain;

Rain prods the Zephyr of resilience,

Resilience enswathing its hue on the horizon of pain.

Fate fanatically fraining the tempest,

Tempest escorting billows to undreamt shore

Shore trails thither the treacled tales;

Tales that croon the ballad of life's lore.
