The Distance

Mottakeenur Rehman

From sorrow to happiness—
how far is the journey?

Today, there is sorrow in my heart.
Tomorrow, I will smile again.
Perhaps that tomorrow
may take an eternity to arrive.

    We are finite we are infinite!

    A very clever write, saying I know I will smile again but it might take a bit longer than tomorrow, enjoyed the read

  • NafisaSB

    and perhaps, it may come in an instant too - all the best, always
