Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

- Lifeless -

From one second to the next
Love is our strength and honor, while we are still alive

The body feels cold and stiff
Searching for heart beat ... breathe ... pulse
One, two, three .... one, two, three
Please

With eyes full of tears
One, two, three .... one, two, three
Fearing the silence ... and darkness

Power failure
... I did my best

Carolyn Devonshire February 25, 2017 at 1:28 PM A compelling poem, Anne-Lise. Life and death are separated by the ability to breathe. Sometimes life wins the struggle, but we have to accept the consequences of "Power failure." Food for thought, my friend. Excellent writing! Anne-Lise Andresen February 25, 2017 at 2:45 PM - .... What happens when power is gone .... it gets dark .... we feel helpless ... some get scared ... but what is it we are afraid ? - Thanks for friendly visits and comments, Carolyn :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Demetrios Trifiatis February 25, 2017 at 9:22 AM Well, when I think that this poem may refer also to the reality of human existence it becomes a monumental existentialistic poem and for that give it a HUGE SEVEN my dear, Anne-Lise! Anne-Lise Andresen February 25, 2017 at 2:50 PM - You have like always right, my friend - The fear of the unknown ... - Sharing love while we live on this earth - Always do the best we can - Thank you for visiting a 7 and your comments :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Blessings, Kim Anne-Lise Andresen February 25, 2017 at 2:58 PM - Our time on earth ... is not for eternity, Kim - Sharing love and care for each other ... do the best we can ... before the power goes out ... and heart stops beating - Thanks for friendly visits and comments :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
