Life Is a Belief
The tender touch of death
wafts o'er eyelids fraught with grieving loss
promising surcease of sorrows
druids in the shadows
whisper ing
balms,salves in songs
of ancient rhymes
chanting
softly
in the
moonlight
tombs
soothing
sighing
seraphs
flying
In your mind
you know you're
dying
Wake Up Now!
must keep on trying
oh but slipping
'neath the surface
brings such sweet
relief
who would care if you
go under
split this mortal coil
asunder
Why?
the universe
would wonder
death
is but a thief
stealing
gifts
unwritten letters
though we crave
to break
these
fetters
we must spurn
relief.
hold up your palms
in supplication
don't deny your
inspiration
time will fill
your inclination
Life is a belief.
