Dearly Beloved Gathering

Dearly beloved

We are gathered here today

Not to remember

Or deliberate life

But rather to forget

Death comes to us all

Further to our discussion on my poem ... I like free verse as it does have an element of structure without artificial restraints. It is the mark of a disciplined mind not to ramble on, but to get to the point in just a few lines, as you did with astute observation.
