poem 5

[neptunecrystal]

no one owns poetry,
no one owns love,
no one owns the passing time,
nor the galaxies above.
no one escapes mortality,
no one escapes the heart,
no one escapes their lessons,
nor the sweet gifts of art.
no one deserves darkness,
no one deserves pain,
no one deserves to be left out,
nor abandoned in the rain.
no one knows for certain,
no one knows for sure,
no one knows what's waiting,
nor the journey that's in store.
