The Formed Faces of All

The Formed Faces Of All

Human sadness--'tis such an eternal degree,
It's an interwoven feeling of depth beyond comparison,
Yet it is still part of me.
Human anger--'tis such a futile impression of incompatible

expressions.
Human life--'tis such a hope of existence,
Valid only when it first is conceived from within,
For love is human sadness, with interfaced sharing,
'Tis but the child of all emotions--
Its parents? Human faith placed in one's self,
Thus, this is the key to the smiling heart,
Awake or asleep on the formed faces of all.

However, your patience will be rewarded. Piri's intense readings are a true joy to listen to, and give the written word much depth and "flow.")
