Lively Death

Not dark here nor bright, feel so light No body, no mass I feel infinite I wonder aloud ‘Is this what they call Death’ Search around, can’t find a glimpse of Earth No worries, no scares, find myself in bliss What next, where next, find something amiss Where is God, where am I, can’t see any Recall my pains and joys, how can I think! Feel my fingers, I blink, I find myself in bed People around with wreaths, I am declared dead Moments ago, the world wrote my Epitaph Kicking alive, I rise, its my time to laugh

You have wrongly entered the poem in my contest. You have to write on Christmas Wreath, Suresh. Please go through the contest details and repost it again.

Very clever twist at the end, Suresh. You had me thinking you were indeed in the spirit realm, but I'm so glad you are alive and kicking! This would make a unique entry for Dr. Ram's wreath contest and now that he has expanded the forms to include rhyme and quatrains, I hope you'll enter it. Merry Christmas, my friend. Peace and blessings, Carolyn
