Ink of joy







Failure drags the zest
Mumbles the lost hope and strength
Peace of life shattered

But,

Penetrate the fog
Of dismay, and fill the life
With flying colors

So,

Shrug off the sadness
Write the chapters of your life
With the ink of joy

    The last three lines are a great haiku on their own. I like these especially.
