Its not an everyday affair

Mahmud Vellani 1960 (Mombasa)

Free verse
Its not an everyday affair
this of Life and Truth.

The breaking of one's
Heart and home.

Such Deep emotions
of love and abandonment.
A story of my Life

Its a mature feeling.
You grow with the pain and love.
In the words of Kahlil Gibran..
"your sorrow is your greatest joy"
So is my Life.
A joy.  And the sorrow.

And to realize
Life is a fleeting moment.
Nothing stays.
Nothing is eternal.
Except our individual destiny
and each one's Soul
