    Disillusion

    (Erika Seetzen-Woods)

    Disillusion

    The day dawns
    for everyone
    when big changes
    in life occur.


    Time passes too fast.
    The eyes lose their shine,
    the skin its elasticity.
    The joints become ponderous.
    The mind takes detours.
    Sleepless nights turn into days.
    The days seem a new loss.
    The mind becomes
    preoccupied with the past.

    The future holds little hope.
    I ask myself:
    What is the meaning of it all?
    I had hoped
    that the children
    would have been a bonus,
    but I only see them
    very seldom.

    My partner has
    his own worries.
    Maybe we never
    understood each other,
    just made the best
    of a bad game.


    Love is
    a funny word.
    Human reproduction
    is managed
    under its cloak.
    I had hoped
    that love
    would have given life
    a deeper meaning.

    So when the long sleep comes
    the illusion of life
    will be like an oasis.
