Life Goes On

Why living in darkness, If you have the shine at your side? What is this rag for? this cloak of sadness You have the wonderful cape. of joy at your disposal? Why do you live crying final tears, if life carries on, liquid and flowing? Why do you create obstacles and walls, if any stronghold impregnable is simple house of cards, which with a brief but strong breath falls to the ground ...? Why Fear oldness and the decay of the body, if we are spirits? Why Fear Death and the blackout of existence if nothing expires or vanishes...? Do not you have perception that spirit continues?

We fear death due to being humane with a brain which will remain.

"You have the wonderful cape of joy at your disposal" I like this thought. It is very uplifting. Life does go on, and we must move along with it. The best that we can. Attitude makes all the difference. Congratulations ALKAS, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy

Repetitive patterns born in a personality, and nurtured through life unless examined. I think your poem will stir some introspection in some. Congratulations!
