Edward Clapham Poet Verse

There Is No Understanding

There is no understanding;
Suicide is the final act of an individual,
Who has reached a point where life
Is no longer tenable.
To ask Why? Is to imagine there is sense
In this finality.
To speculate on the state of mind,
Which lays a foundation for 
Entry to eternity, is to think there is some
Rational alternative, some possible pathway 
To salvation.
But the abyss lies before, 
The end of torment invitation to give up
Oneself to relief.
To die, to sleep, perchance to dream.
There is no understanding.
