The End

The sun shines
As the moon beams,

Flowers bloom on ground to cover
While the birds fly high and hover,

Tranquil is the running brook
Through a forest of trees,

Serene is the snowfall
Atop a mountain high,

As a butterfly floats
Across a rolling meadow,

A summer night's breeze
Warms two beating hearts,

Silent prayer calms the soul
As a peace instills to heal,

As baby lies in wait
A beat to a mother's womb,

In the end you realize,
That all is born for demise....

I think this poem is beautiful. one of the best i've read of this kind and i thought the end line was very effective, and it snapped me out of the trance your words in the rest of the poem put me into! keep it up man.

Solomon makes a good point, Stephen. As I was reading your poem, I saw a celebration of life that I really related to and enjoyed. "As baby lies in wait A beat to a mother's womb" ...that's a lovely image. But I did feel a bit jolted by the last two lines. They almost denied the rest of the poem. What do you think?

lose the last two lines, they don't rhyme. the rest do, a tribute to life and love. they never die.
