Free verse, (Based upon a very old tragedy many decades ago)
Note: Oft reality curses and seems to be an unbearable state to have to endure. Yet in this realm Fate, Time, Reality and Death are all-powerful commanders on a ship speeding across the universe. Only stop to get off of it -- is death...
A Sweet Child's Untimely Death
Windswept leaves blown upon abandoned house doorstep
there rests in peace, as if morning mail.
Driveway empty aside from one old red broken tricycle, remnants left behind by the last family living there after the death of their child.
Alas, Fate created this lonely and tragic scene, with its sorrows now flown far away.
Chill breeze attacks the trees as if to say, sorrows are here and her they will stay,
for their child exists no more.
Exists no more, echoing savagely - she exists no more!
A sweet child's untimely death. Reality's naked and almost unbearable truth.
