Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'death Enters'

When death enters the 
realm, 
all else is forgotten 
it brings everything into perspective

somehow the little things 
seems so irrelevant
their importance almost become void 
the significance of wrong doing and 
past mishaps are stripped of their 
power
to control our emotions of anger and 
hate - 

all we are left with are if only, 
sadness and 
so many questions---

*inspired by someone’s sudden 
passing*

Andrea Dietrich May 21, 2012 at 10:17 PM oh Wilma so many are writing poems about death but I see no contest about such a topic. Anyway, a daughter of a good friend of mine just died needlessly last week. It's all so sad!! You did very well here.

John Loving Iii May 21, 2012 at 2:58 PM right now the lady next to me on the computer next to me at this moment is having a reacction from something she has seen on the computer. i am sure that it was a reaction to a death. this is life as it happens.

John Loving Iii May 21, 2012 at 2:56 PM death can bring so many things depending on perspective. for some it is the lose of hope and other it is a great reliefe.
