A Life Sadly Lived

A Life Sadly Lived

 

There was never really

that much

to say at all about

his life, that is ..

In fact, they managed

to say everything

in just seventeen words

and three

separate lines, well placed

sad indeed sir. makes me think of so many things ... unknown soldiers .. countless pioneers buried in the dust of time .. where they fell .. alone .. seventeen words and three lines .. perhaps senryu .. maybe just the work of a minimalist poet ... no matter any of that .. the lonely empty wind in this barely noticed life .. and death strikes home ... recently i heard the story of how much a person is missed when their earthly life ends .. like sticking your finger in a pail of water and withdrawing it .. as fast as that hole is filled is how long before what we do is replaced by another ... i don't necessarily agree with that but in the case of your protagonist ... perhaps holds true :( very emotive .. inspires my thoughts .. thanks for sharing brother!

As ever, your words say far more than is visible This reader wonders, moves on, but remembers.

Wishing you all you wish for yourself and your family, sir. You will take care and keep safe, won't you. keep safe.
