Ghostly graves haunting the youth

As they fear life more than  death

Too afraid to dig their own

Hole, where they shall lie

Perhaps they have fear because of their cascading emotions so turbulent in youth. One day you are flying the next bombing out.

A deep one, Budgie. Love the symbolism in this one!

Excellent and profound. You have that unique skill of beating the peak. This is a wonderful stuff, always beating our expectation. Can wait to jump to your next page.

If they fear life more than death then isn't the danger to dig their own grave possible? Very well composed my friend, WW!

Yes, no youth wants to make their bed and then lie in it now, do they? LOL! Thank you, my friend! /|\

"As they fear more life than death"; Isn't that the truth. I am trying to launch my last two children now. They act like they are bullet proof but life scares them to death. Loved this line! Regards, Dean
