Nothing can ever happen twice.
In consequence, the sorry fact is
that we arrive here improvised
and leave without the chance to practice.
Even if there is no one dumber,
if you're the planet's biggest dunce,
you can't repeat the class in summer:
this course is only offered once.
No day copies yesterday,
no two nights will teach what bliss is
in precisely the same way,
with precisely the same kisses.
One day, perhaps some idle tongue
mentions your name by accident:
I feel as if a rose were flung
into the room, all hue and scent.
The next day, though you're here with me,
I can't help looking at the clock:
A rose? A rose? What could that be?
Is it a flower or a rock?
Why do we treat the fleeting day
with so much needless fear and sorrow?
It's in its nature not to stay:
Today is always gone tomorrow.
With smiles and kisses, we prefer
to seek accord beneath our star,
although we're different (we concur)
just as two drops of water are.

Nothing Twice - This poem has beautiful undertone meaning with critical truth..
Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem. A pellucid thought with simple verse of her inspired writing begins with deep meaning..
Nothing can ever happen twice - Getting the true love, care, affection, joy & happiness from our loved ones, beautiful experience of admiring the nature, happiness of dedication in work - like some moments in our life that we wish or try to repeat it. No matter how bad it is. But bitter truth is no moment of our life will ever come back to us though we will get a second chance to do it, It won't be the same as first..
One day, perhaps some idle tongue mentions your name by accident: I feel as if a rose were flung into the room, all hue and scent.
The next day, though you're here with me - Soul feel lines are these..
although we're different (we concur) just as two drops of water are. Ending is amazing! Such a deep thoughts inside it..
Her pics are nice. Itz all revealing the beauty of deep thoughts within her.. The music of the video is just penetrating into the soul. The moving pics are perfectly apt for it. It make me to remember the lines of the great poet Kabir:
"It is the music of the meeting of soul with soul: It is the music of the forgetting of sorrows: It is the music that transcends all coming in all going forth"..
This life is only offered once.. This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, wondering, healing, and even more loving. Just love it & live it.."
