Life, Love, Joy and Music - A Sestina

All through these weary

Or in other seasons joyful

Days and years of life

Winds a strange and quiet music

Made of tears and time

Fear and always, always love

The various joys of human love

Something of which we seldom weary

Across this unforgotten time

Lie memories both bright and joyful

Of dawning rooms filled with music

Epiphanies of newly-rising life

But sometimes there is pain in life

Some years an unrequited love

Too saccharine the music

Sometimes enough to weary

Too busy to be joyful

So many tasks so little time

To each I say, improve the time

Gulp, drink down your life

Find times and ways, be joyful

And always, always live for love

Search on even when you're weary

For that strange distant music

For meaning in the end is only music

Affection the chief end of time

The thing of which we never weary

The point of this too-fleeting life

Is just to give and have love

And linger sated and joyful

It's us who will be joyful

The devotees of music

Of beauty and of love

And in our fleeting time

Embrace all life

Refuse to weary

So weary one, be joyful

Live life in all its music

And know there's always time for love

Truth is important
