â??Everything that has a beginning has an ending. Make your peace with that and all will be well.â?- Buddha In Western culture, no one likes to talk about death. People get uncomfortable, they donâ??t know what to say, and the topic is commonly avoided. But in countries like Bhutan and other parts of Asia, death â?¦

The journey to the place where peace lives in beautiful music Alone in my own shadow, no shining stars The despair is overwhelming I'm filled with melancholy Leaving me breathless, I pray a silent prayer Falling into nothing, paralyzed by losing control But still peaceful in a glimpse of this eternal sleep There's no way back, my history has an end The sound of a silding stream, thirsty Life is too short, my eyes flood with a tear Receive my trembling soul, my sins are many Can I know if I have been able to forgive, or if I have been forgiven ? 15-05-2018 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved A Poem about DEATH - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Broken Wings - 4th place in the contest - Theme 2.
