Kiss --- Life Or Death

Kites and vultures fight in the twilight sky In cabin number two of the clinic close by Smiles a new baby from the charming baby cot So sweet, exults the mom and cuddles her a lot In cabin number ten a boy is passing away Gasping sound, shaky finger, disquieting decay It is doubtful if till evening the poor life will stay In a fog before his eyes faces fading away Darkness lingers on every light almost everyday We can never touch again what death has taken away But live or die the world always looks the other way Finally it is life that invariably holds sway Dim daylight dwindles as the daisies daily die However death may appall it can never stop the ball Behind the dove’s mourning call life and hope walk tall Kites and vultures fight in the twilight sky ________________________________________________ February 8, 2016
