Death Is Peace

Death brings peace to depressed souls Like steam from a bowl Soothing a stuffy nose On a cold winter night When ??re tired of a fight Death brings clarity to confused minds Like stars in a sky Twinkling in an eye Of those looking for a peace In a world so mean Death erases thoughts Of a dream fought Etched in a heart Burning in desire Wilted by life fire

Thanks John, interesting comment. Appreciate your insight into my poetry. Resting in peace beneath the earth as the life that caused our existence goes back to heaven from whence it came ending the pain and suffering consuming our very soul

Smile ~ Well, I do agree within a certain measure sadly for many during this era's phase of existence but only, if after their passing they are Heaven bound & then, well, no words could describe such beauty; not in a million years ~ Whereon the other hand, "No," the saddest day in this world will seem but as paradise compared to the neverending then...."Very Soulfully Profound Poe; 'Bluebright'" ~ "Love Always," John!:) ~
