A Life Beyond

Is there a life beyond the written word?
Can I forsake these pages of my verse,
Neglect the music I have not yet heard,
Forsake the art itself! To ne'er rehearse.

Another rhyme or another sonnet
To ignore the wretched cries of the heart
Which by now should learn silence, and forget
The tales in which fond poetry played a part.

Can I survive in this world of logic,
To seek leadership from the mind alone –
To calculate the values of numeric
And purely science in the heart enthrone:

Nay, for to forsake art – I shall not lie –
Is to forsake life. I would rather die.
