An Unfading Joy
My fortune led me to vales of sweet perfume, I gazed; each atom bathed in dews of joy. And feathered birdsong dispelled all gloom; Their dulcet anthems did sweet peace convey. Ah, could such pure felicity compare? Then bore my star to realms of revelry, Where unseen sights captivated my eye; Still transient proved this light, a phantasy. To gilded hoards, then, swiftly was I drawn; Some ease, some luxury, my soul embraced; And to the zenith of success, at the dawn, I rose, my worldly triumphs proudly traced. But look, can these fleeting glories ever vie With joy I found in mother's arms? O, never! ----Poet Affaq #ForeverSonnets
