Deadd Accountt Poet Free verse

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

Doug Vinson March 26, 2017 at 12:18 PM Perhaps the purpose of life is to discover what one's purpose is/how to really be happy? I see no greater real genius than in being happy. Deadd Accountt March 27, 2017 at 6:05 PM True, I can relate to this thought or perspective.

Maria Williams March 21, 2017 at 2:14 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. Deadd Accountt March 21, 2017 at 8:48 AM Yes, I agree! Thanks for the thoughtful response!

Darren White March 18, 2017 at 11:05 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. Deadd Accountt March 18, 2017 at 11:54 AM Wise words, Darren, will do. It is good therapy and soothing for the mind and soul.
