All Art, like all Love, has its roots in Heartache.
Solitude
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
This is my final writing to Michele. As I do not think that she reads my blog (who does nowadays anyway), would someone please direct her here please. It is my address to her directly, and I do hope that she reads this.
...And the End
We stand at crossroads, Michele. Though our paths converged briefly for a moment, the short road has arrived at the inevitable parting, and we must each go out
separate ways. Though the path splits here, I do hope that in the future,this our paths might cross again.You had yourself advised me to move on. Moving on is hard and painful. Moving on is sound advice. But to hear it from you, however, only
amplifies the pain. And though I try to move on, to forget you, I have failed.But now, I know the reason for my failure. Though I convinced myself that I wanted to forget you, I had never wanted to let go. I realized that my want to forget you is but a lie to myself. My mind wanted to let you go, but my heart holds on firmly. But yes, you are right, and I should just forget you and move on.For the past two years, you had been rather hostile towards me. But seeing that we would probably not meet again, I would like to part on a friendly note. I once again extend towards you a hand of friendship, and I do hope that you will take this hand of friendship I offer to you this time round.In addition, I would like to apologise if I had caused you any discomforts or unhappiness in the past two years.Moreover, I would also like to thank you. Despite all that has come to pass, you were still a beacon of light to me in the past two years, and would
continue to be a source of inspiration to me. Also, I thank you for your tolerance with me for the past two years. I am glad that I have met you. I would also like to express that i appreciate the role you had in shaping my life, and I appreciate you for who you are. I want you to know you will always have a place in my heart. If you should find yourself in need of help, I
profer whatever is within my
abilities.I read in a book, this statement, "will you follow me into the darkness?" Well, if you ever want someone to walk with you into the darkness, I am with you.
With Love
