Notes About The Poem

Unostentatious Or Haphazard

It was a never-ending slog
sequential acts are untamed and stochastic
but ultimately all perish

                                          genesis and epilogue
                                          that sums up life perfectly
                                          man can bridge the life-death chasm
                                          love abounds even with death 

one precedes for another must follow
yet, doesn't that entail a frame? 
Is our serendipity hollow? 

                                          indomitable, invincible
                                          If death is truly the ending
                                          yet, life may be born from death
                                          God, who gave us life, inhaled our dying soul 

so, after many years of life's last breath
will death be granted life?
the life-death boundary is shallow
Yes, it is the answer
 
                                           life is nothing but a dream
                                           hence, it certainly makes sense

What might this possibly impart?
that dreams require dreamers

                                           or there wouldn't be any angel of death
                                           possibly this is the way life is
                                           in the spiral of unwavering dreams

seraphic saneness
or
demonic sadness
     
                                         strives over a common goal
                                         that there is doom and gloom
                                         as well as tomorrow.

Becky Forbes October 27, 2022 at 6:35 PM "will death be granted life?" A curious twist with an intriguing alure. Sometimes, somehow, death seems the sweetest of all. If only to be so lucky :-)
