Nox Occasus

Sometimes
In the depths
Of melancholy
I sit and think

On the fact 
That each year I live
Through the anniversary of my own death
And it passes
Like any
Other
Day.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Inspired by the death of David Bowie and the video for his last song, Lazarus, which shows his own preparation for his coming passing.
