The Boundless Questioning of Death

Are we born to live,
Or are we born to die?

Death's inevitable 
So what's more to life 

You can be rich as ever 
Yet still afford to die 

By every breath I feel approaching mine 

What is the purpose, or the goal of this?
Is one judged by their holiness 

But how to live a holy life? 
When every night brings blackened skies 

And even during'st the brightest day
When the sun is smiling away

There will still be a dark cloud, vision  
Eventually approaching in the distance

Maria Williams Date: 3/21/2017 2:14:00 AM You have posed a lot of questions here. By the end of the day though I think we're all here just to do as much good as we can, I see this Life as a stepping stone to the next? I will try focusing on the Sun, instead of the dark cloud hovering behind. Login to Reply Deadd Accountt Date: 3/21/2017 8:48:00 AM Yes, I agree! Thanks for the thoughtful response!

Darren White Date: 3/18/2017 11:05:00 AM Yeah, it's always looming, isn't it? So grab the brightest thing you can do, like write a poem, and DO it with heart and soul, and forget about that darkness for a while.
