How symbolic!

How symbolic!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

The epitaph of a broken dream
was spread by the Jester's tear
when the voice of the verse
was no longer heard
pronounced dead
within its own elegy
while the shadow of the night
laments in minds sleeping.
In a corner of one's mind
the jester sits in
the historical moment
not laughing or
entertaining the thought.

Thank you Al.
Even the Jester learn. Not enough laughter and he questions the meaning of life. Thank you Andrew for sharing your amazing words and thoughts.
