I was pitching my pitch
To a man with no ears
When another man
In a bright golden watch
Paraded by
And took him away.

She was singing her song
As a lady with no tune
"Don't come back."
The record label said.
She continued to whistle her tuneless tune
As she walked down the side-walk
And on her way back home.
~*~
A baby's first breath
At the same time
Is another man's last
The cycle of life
The tried and the true
The mundane and the elegant
Beauty and the beast.

This was so profound! Very beautifully written!
Beautiful piece. Well done..
I particularly like the line "A baby's first breath / At the same time / Is another man's last." This line captures the fragility of life and the fact that we are all part of a larger cycle.
Loved this. Deep and food for thought. So much said in a few words. Well done.
I enjoyed the amount of questions this left me with and love the rhythm and flow of it all! :)
Quite philosophical and thought provoking. Great job Tressa!!! 😎
