I wrote this poem and prose a long time ago. I thought I'd share them here once again in hope that someone could enjoy them.
Life and Death
Written on April 1st, 2007
Death -- Who canst escape thee?
All who meet thee cease to be!
All, small and great,
In time wilt meet their own fate.
Life -- Thou art there,
For only a moment so fair!
So precious, yet taken for granted,
Thou givest much, yet many run from thee.
Thy gifts -- If only thine children wouldst see!
Death -- Upon thine touch,
Thou asketh little, yet requireth much!
The soul, whither it goes,
Ultimately, no one knoweth!
Life -- Is all that we've got!
The Roller Coaster
Written on January 25, 2007
All is well,
The roller coaster slowly begins its upward journey,
Optimism, desire, creativity - dreams surge...
Moving along in heightened speed,
Euphoric feelings abound,
Trouble lingers, just around the corner...
Roller coaster, Can't stop now,
It must continue,
Like an addiction...
Over and over again it goes,
Nothing can stop it,
Cannot sense danger...
The roller coaster begins it descent slowly,
Bringing with it, lethargy and apathy,
Isolation lingers, it's the only way...
Down, down the slope it goes,
Fear, Sorrow, Hopelessness, and Pain,
The world comes crashing down...
Keeping always in remembrance,
How good it used to be,
Some sleep and some cease to exist...
For those who remain on this earth,
Once again the roller coaster starts,
WHO CAN STOP IT!
The Rose
Written on March 5th, 2007
(Nope it's not the one by Bete Midler. It was written about the duality of love; both its optimistic side and its dark side.)
Full of thorns, yet so fragile,
Tread gently, taking loving care,
While it flourishes by your hand.
See it yield its fragrant beauty!
Yet the rose abandoned,
Withers by neglect,
Petals blown away by the wind,
Till it is no more!
