Tony Bush Poet Verse

Senseless

Who deals these cards with random care? 
  So senseless it seems to mortal minds 
  When cruel chaos draws the blinds 
    And sanctions mindless death. 
With suddenness we are not there, 
  A candle snuffed with nonchalance 
  And given not a second chance 
    To draw another breath. 

If we could know what is to be 
  Would that our fragile souls appease 
  Or simply kill our reveries, 
    Beloved plans and schemes? 
At very least all that we see 
  And do and touch will carry on 
  In those we tendered love upon 
    Our cherished hopes and dreams.

There is no sense or reason why 
  The good die young with no reprieve 
  With friends and family left to grieve 
    Their passing by the way. 
In life, in truth, time marches by 
  No choice save travel in it's wake 
  And pray we heal for pity's sake 
    And strive to face each day.
