Is it worth it?

The laconic glimpse of the setting sun.
The harmonic chirp of nature.
The lingering bouquet of my empty goblet.
The captivating fragrance of the evening air,
The warm embrace of my cigar
Is it worth bearing this agony?

  3. Inspiration is the flip side to your grief. First accept your pain, release it, and allow it to move you in a positive direction.

  4. I grieve for the silliest of things.
    I grieve for oiled pelicans, polluted waters, battered children, starving masses, the silliest of things.
