In the Image of Dust To Dust, Kipling Tribute Poem

In The Image Of Dust To Dust, Kipling tribute poem In the image of dust to dust rests the dark mankind fears yet in its horrors, face we must loss, decay- buckets of our tears as crestfallen as such may be in life- love may joy bring rich fruits of its majestic seas sweet music lovers sing dare we such dear treasures deny because of morbid fate are we not brave to ask the why before it is too late although time often our sight blinds does not heart truly see such dark-thinking serves to remind soul rests in you and me therein shall we contemplate more meaning of dust to dust we that so seek paradise shores have thus mislaid our trust pity- weakness of flesh and blood how selfishly we think whilst we often bath in the mud 'til of its stench we stink in the image of dust to dust rests the dark mankind fears yet in its horrors, face we must loss, decay- buckets of our tears. Robert J. Lindley, 3-04-2021 Rhyme, ( A Look Into The Soul And Humanity's Follies, Fallacies And Blindness) Kipling tribute poem for blog. Note: Sorry, that this was not originally included in the Kipling blog as it was first posted. And that because of my having been ill- it has taken me so long to rewrite four times - then edit, re-edit-and finish it. As of now, I have abandoned the other third Kipling tribute poem entirely. As this took so much out of me just to finish this one. Note: I already had another tribute blog started. But seems that too will be much delayed. As my health issues at the moment are so greatly interfering with my writings. As such is life, I must endeavor to cut back a bit more and hope to re-energize my writing-soul. God bless…

A Star Fell From Heaven. How beautiful is this one Lindley? For your Queen. I always thought that poem "If" was a strong write ... I can appreciate why you love Kipling. This poem below is not by Kipling. A belated happy birthday to you to. L x

In my estimation it is indeed very beautiful as it expresses the truth of love. The joy in life together and the hope that such never ends. The dust to dust poem is by no means a write to attempt to splash in Kipling style/ poetic insight. It is instead a new product born from a seed that He - Kipling planted. Thanks- this birthday my only wish was for my wife's cancer surgery to go well and that she heals completely and very quickly. God bless..

Thank you my friend. I am so sorry to hear of your aunt's cancer and the immense grief/worry it must be laying upon you. I myself went through the same type of grief/worry /sorrow with my own father's pancreatic cancer and his death when I was but 15 years old. and so true-one feels as if death is within them-- when so affected by the horrible plight of a beloved one. I pray god's blessings for you and your family.
