Beginning to the End

Sometimes I ponder about what will come next,
Where will my life turn when it seems to stall?
When is the next time I will smile again?
and how will I get up, should I fall?

Happiness fills me with a touch of sadness.
By that I mean I know it can't last.
Beauty decays, laughter subsides,
When will the stones be cast?

Tragedy can be measured,
by the amount of happiness taken away.
Delusion is our only protection
As we fall victim to its prey.

So when I've reached a fork in life's road,
and the choices are many or few.
I follow the one that leads away from misfortune,
Thats all I can really do.

When life is good.
You have to hold it in your hand,
You have to close your eyes,
You have to breathe it in!

Happiness may end,
While tragedy begins,
Today is the beginning
Is tomorrow the end?
