And let me talk to you with your silence
That is bright as a lamp
Simple, as a ring…
-Pablo Neruda
How should we start a new page
with an unwritten one behind?
How to scribble some denouement
for our inconclusive drama?
If life could be as simple
as reading a book,
if we could all just see the plot
that life displays for us.
But there are bad writers,
who choose convolution
because they can’t appreciate
the beauty of life’s simplicity,
shaped as a ring,
the source of all happiness.
