Kurt Ravidas Poet Rhyme

Bees

How many words at night just like 
bees in a hive buzz in my head!
“No pulse.. failed the brain test.. apneic,
pronounced dead”, somebody said.

Oh, life and death, you look so much
alike and equal that I seem
to do not care who grants me such
a long-awaited dreamless dream.

A short sleep of the dead and then
it will repeat itself: a bee,
another one, a pad, a pen,
a night, a sleeplessness, a me.

Richard Lamoureux October 19, 2019 at 3:23 PM Yes I too think death and life are momentary pauses. It seems we live forever in a moment. This causes one to ponder. ;0) Kurt Ravidas October 19, 2019 at 6:29 PM Time is illusion but sleeplessness is not)
