Thoughts on Death

What I think of the inevitability that awaits and whatever...

Grim fate appears distant
In healthy days;
But sickness sways about.
Danger dances to a deadly rhythm
The Swan Song nears
The Storm of Life lures Drought.
Feared by men of bravery,
Revered by cadres of courage,
An eerie air surrounds it.
A paling coldness prevails
In the Dark Cloud that reigns
In the sky of Existence,
We know not what lies
Beyond its villainous veil.

Dastardly Death:
B*****d fostered by Life.
Ironic Death that costs us living
Leads us to Life...
Living eternity awaits;
Patiently but its virtue wanes.
Passed the threshold of this plane
Lies the unknown PEACE.
The treachery of life
Lets us live in disbelief.
My birth into Death
Shall be the death of my life.
My death into LIFE.
FOREVER.

Very mature analogy of life's adventure; and I believe it is an adventure. Intensely written and filled with truth, emotion and expectation. It speaks to your 'Dreams Of Peaceful Existence.' I recommend a rewrite while listening to your poem being read aloud to you by another or listening to a prerecorded tape. Well done and has a lot of promise.

Thanks for the great review,and even better advice. Lol "mature" is a stretch for this 18 year old wise fool who just wants a Death Of Previous Etiquette using my Delusions Odd People Experience. :)

It's like you were on a mission to amass the best paradoxes of all time. This right is what truly defines a CON. DOPE.

Wow many thanks,a part of me just died as I read that (pardon the pun) but I'm always rather nervy when good poets critique *heeves a sigh of relief*

You are welcome. A brilliant expression on a part of life we should not fear for it brings new life.
