Eternal Bliss (Poem)

By Chris Sarcletti

Life and death can occur at the same time, in the same breath;
but it's our experiences and failure to experience that bring
upon the end.

While actions and abrupt reactions may lead to horrible crimes,
it is our failure to indulge in both the known and unknown
which allows the fragile lifeline to bend.

The same anger and hate which cause so much pity in the world can
be overcome by other more powerful feelings that reside within all of us.

While these emotions run rampant through the smallest villages
and largest cities, the power of love is what allows us to persevere.
