In Death
[[Poem]]
"Who
is this
speaking -
what can
I say for the
bereaved - lost
amid the shell of
their bitterness
and abhorrence?"
""Like moths with dark shadows
in their eyes children running and playing
in their absence with no reflection of time driven
by their guilt and heavy hands of shame; who are
they now the bereaving?" - "Because I know the cost
uneven, of pride - the-cost-is-more and is always
cutting, cutting-me-down - one that is always-
cutting-them - you.""
"Who will reject this speak
for their plight rejoice
with them, us; lest I
am anyone the
one but who
is for everyone
who is any one?"
"Which friend from
the expressions worn
upon the falling leaves, I
can tell now time a gift is much
shorter than what I often believe."
""For me... all of us, I believe leaves they are the Purest Example
of God's Love Patience and Mercy; shown to us - and as Seasons are
always changing along with them; what He gave me, you - which is what
the Goodness and Promise of Any True Opportunity is; is what I feel is one
that is just as (H)onest and ((O))pen, just as (((W)))illing, needed; wanted
for any one,
"anyone... !""
""So sown now in this time left friend I must tell you - I would wish
to be anything if found worthy to be the one caught, cut, killed -
working for The Greater Idea of Peace - and so as he came
to the grand corner, he walks away tossing a leaf behind
him-the last words from him; being - "Stop
all wars" time being what it is;
is
too
short!""
