I shall not live in vain
If I can stop one Heart from breaking, shall not live in vain, If I can ease one Life the Aching, I shall not live in Vain. Life is too short, A flickering flame, a transient gleam, A flower doomed to swift decay, To bud and bloom and pass away. Between the cradle and the grave a frightened child with tears in his eyes looks at the light. Life is too short, But he who kisses with joy the life, lives in eternity’s sun rise.
poem by Alexis Karpouzos from An ocean of souls (7 March 2014), translated by Alexis karpouzos
