A Poem by illiadne
"

These are my wandering thoughts, the ideas I have left of life as a whole.

"
A coin in the hand of a beggar, breath in the lungs of a corpse. The flower that wilts
from the sun'd embrace. 
Perhaps life is thus--
the ebb and flow of a moon's unrequited love, for how could the ocean return her affections?
Are we yet termites clamoring for a taste of that which we cannot reach?
A revolving orb marks the passage of time,
yet the soul remains ageless. 
Life is but an imaginary friend in the mind of a babe, 
ever changing and growing, 
yet gone all together once she realizes she no longer believes.
Perhaps that is the key;
perhaps life is a merely a pocketful of wishes
slung carelessly into a beggars cup.
