The Living Fear It

The Living Fear It

A Poem by Mai L Nissen
"

just thoughts

"
The living fear it,
the dead find comfort therein;
they ever seek it,
shying away from the light.

The poem open the door to a long conversation. I like the Native American view on the final walk. Death is always waiting on your right shoulder. Life and death are our friends. Just politely allowing us to find peace in the center. Very good use of words. You said a lot using so few words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Simple, yet deep. I love how you did not over complicate things and you were still able to get your point across. Great job!
